Auriculas are spring-flowering alpine beauties and a sensational draw whenever they are seen, at primula and auricula flower shows, on display in auricula theatres, or in the garden. This essential guide tells of their rich history, describes various cultivars in detail, instructs on propagation techniques and explains how to grow and show them. Topics covered include: monthly guide to cultivation; advice on composts, fertilizers and how to raise new plants; in-depth look at pest and disease recognition and control; description of the alpine house and other greenhouses and instruction on how to make an auricula theatre and a cold frame is given. A comprehensive list of different cultivars is included.
