Primula Vialii 3 Litre Pot

Primula vialii (Orchid Primrose)

Unusual primula with striking, two-tone flower spikes in early summer

Primula vialii is a distinctive and eye-catching perennial, producing upright spikes of vibrant flowers that emerge crimson-red and open to reveal lilac-purple blooms from the base up. Flowering in early to mid-summer, it adds vertical colour and unique texture to damp borders, pond edges, or woodland-style gardens.

Compact and clump-forming, it thrives in moist, humus-rich soil in part shade and pairs beautifully with ferns and hostas.
