Nursery contributed plant descriptions

What a pink! The distillation of hues, shades and tints into a saturated concentration of the pink pigment is an unqualified success in this saucy Primrose. The flowers erupt from the winter resting buds before the leaves expand and demand attention in the garden. Best in a rich moisture retentive soil.
