Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A cross between Primula minima and Primula hirsuta, resulting in a tidy plant with relatively large, white-eyed magenta flowers. Unlike P. minima, this one is easy in half shade and a well drained soil.

This is a dandy cross between Primula minima which is really tricky to grow and P. hirsuta which is easier. The result has the charm of minima without the temperment and the ease of cultivatioin which hirsuta offers. Great foliage and vibrant reddish flowers. Good drainage and morning sun.
