Auriculas, also known as primula auricula or bear’s ears, have a history of being collectors' items. And it's easy to see where their popularity comes from. Their jewel-like flowers come in a variety of shades and petal-shapes. And many are beautifully scented and will be a unique addition to a spring garden.
One person who knows a thing or two about this quaint backyard practice of displaying flowers is Nick Swankie, senior gardener at the National Trust’s Benthall Hall in Shropshire, England, which is home to a delightful auricula theater.
