Primula pulverulenta (Mealy primrose)

Primula pulverulenta (Mealy primrose) is perhaps the easiest of all the candelabra primulas to grow and multiply, this variety seeds about merrily and has bright carmine pink flowers in abundance. Even though the colour is strong it doesn’t seem to look out of place. This variety can cope with quite wet conditions as long as the crown and leaves are not submerged;if the foliage starts going yellow then it’s too wet!

My plants were featured on Gardeners’ World 5th April 2019.

This plant will rarely be available in potted form by mail order direct from the website but is usually available at the nursery in small numbers. If you are interested in obtaining it by mail order, please email us and we can often oblige. An additional packing and carriage charge may be necessary.
