Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Florence Bellis, inspired originator of so many beautiful primroses, started with a mere $5 worth of primrose seeds in 1935 and built by hand the renowned Barnhaven Primrose selections. We are proud to offer the descendants of her breeding efforts. This hardy, easy variety is offered as a mix of various shades of coral, maize, pink, apricot, and orange. We adore it and it deserves your love too!
