    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A rare and long-lived species (in the wild) which is more tolerant of dry than most Primula. This develops a woody stem over the years and bears gorgeous big umbels of rich golden flowers. Frankly, this is a bitch to establish in a pot from seed. Gritty sandy draining humus and moist.
