Like many native Japanese plants, their culture in Japan continues to survive in the numerous clubs and enthusiast groups formed for those who collect, breed and exhibit these dainty and sturdy wildflowers. In America, they still are awaiting discovery, but for those who are informed, and who are trying these precious rarities, the rewards are easy and effortless, again, as with many rarer plants, the hardest part may be in fact, finding them to buy. Look for Primula sieboldii, but note, if you Google them, entering thier Japanese name of Sakurasoh, may get you more information.

Almost lost, from a now defunct collection in Connecticut, these named forms are beginning to flourish in the deep, loamy soil of our old vegetable garden, now becoming shaded with tall trees. Thankfully, Primula sieboldii are perhaps the easiest primroses to grow, both emerging late in the spring, and blooming near June 1, this species also spreads gently by rhyzomes, and is never invasive, since it&#8217;s habit is to form a neat clump  as a colony forms. This is a plant that extends the season of many spring-blooming phloxes, its color range being very similar.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5069948030448385138\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/saku_godaisyu.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"cursor: hand;
