Several dozen magenta-coloured flowers displayed in umbels above a rosette of leaves. Blooms towards the end of May here in zone 3, and blooms for a very long time - the longest of all the Primula species that we grow. Leaves are a light, yellow-green colour.
Our friend Dorothy gave us several of these seedlings in 1999, and above photos from 2001 show the flowers of just one plant - a good show already eventhough not all of its flowers had yet opened!
Like our other Primula, we grow it in shade, with humus rich soil.
Hardy to zone 3 or 4. Is native to eastern Europe to Siberia.
Grows about 10" in height, spread 12".
Glen's score: 9 of 10.
