Auriculas are exquisite and endlessly fascinating. Grow some and see for yourself. They are easy to grow. Don’t starve them, put plenty grit in their compost, don’t keep them too hot or too wet. We grow most of them in pots as they are easier to display and admire that way. Keep them dry in winter and not too hot in summer. But, they are all hardy and some have done well in the open ground for many years. For the last few years we have arranged an Auricula theatre in late April The wonderful jewel like Auricula. We arrange an Auricula Theatre on the nursery each April. This year we will host a RHS recommended event 'OLD PRIMROSES & BORDER AURICULAS' on WEDNESDAY 22nd April 2009 2pm to 4pm at the nursery RHS members £7.95/ non members £9.95 (afternoon tea included in price) Bookings on www.rhs.org.uk or (08456) 121253 All tickets must be booked in advance Auricula are exquisite and endlessly fascinating.
