| (4-7 sun/light shade) 60x30cm
A Chinese candelabra primula with whorls of lilac-magenta flowers on tall stems. Discovered in 1906 in the Li-chiang range of mountains in Yunnan, by the plant hunter George Forrest. Enjoys a wet or boggy soil where it performs well and is very effective when placed near water. Best in a sunny spot but will tolerate some shade, although plants then tend to been shorter. Easy and hybridises readily with other species. |
