Primula denticulata

The Gardening Year

Watch out for

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape, hand-pick at night, or apply iron phosphate pellets.

Vine weevil: Apply systemic insecticides to soil or use biological controls like nematodes in spring and autumn.

Aphids: Squash by hand, blast off with water, or use insecticidal soap for severe infestations.

Powdery mildew: Improve air circulation, avoid wetting foliage, and treat with a fungicide if necessary.

Crown rot: Ensure well-drained soil and avoid overwatering, especially in winter.
