A Primrose For All Seasons ...
The Ball Colegrave range of Primrose has been specially selected to make it easy for you to schedule a 6 month programme. Each series is well matched for uniformity, colour range and attention grabbing bi-colours to keep your sales sweet.

Option 1: Select your favourite variety and pick a sequence of delivery weeks to hit your target markets.
Option 2: Let our genetics do the work for you by selecting a sequence of varieties to give marketing continuity from October to April;
Bonneli Early season sales October to early February
Fruelo 2nd Early season sales December to mid February
Alaska Main season sales mid January to end February
Husky Late season sales early March to early April
Pansy & Viola – a cut above the rest ...
Pansy Matrix has become the first choice Pansy for pack production. Why? It’s simple. The world’s leading breeders have design-engineered Matrix to exacting UK grower specifications. Its superior branching means Matrix covers the pack faster, resists stretching and offers greater uniformity of habit and earliness of flowering. And with 30 colours and 13 mixes, there is plenty of choice for everyone.
Viola Sorbet is an established variety with proven performance in pack, pot and garden. Its neat habit and adventurous range of colours make this series a world leader. The recently introduced XP range of Sorbet offers our best matched Sorbet varieties with advanced genetics to give an even higher level of uniformity of flowering and habit across all colours. We recommend XP where nothing but uniformity is acceptable, plus some added benefits of novelty colours.
Pansy Plentifall is the first and only genuine trailing pansy from seed. No other series yet exhibits the natural ‘break’, spread and trail features across all its colours that Plentifall provides. Some others varieties may look good in a pack, but disappoint once planted out in hanging pots and baskets.
All Ball Colegrave Pansy and Viola are available as seed or plugs offering a full 12 month window of sales opportunities.
