Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A sweet little primrose, native to Tibet and southwestern China, it charms with deep violet-blue, trumpet-shaped flowers held in pincushion-like clusters. Each cluster is dusted with silver white "meal" on top, matching the silvery flower stems. They rise above the basal rosette of oblong, serrated, green leaves also with a silvery cast, from late spring into early summer. Grow in a very well drained soil, that receives regular moisture. 7-9" tall.
