This is a unique kind of Primrose, totally unlike more commonly grown forms. Leaves are thick and waxy with a dusting almost like flour, forming a low rosette. Large clusters of fragrant light mauve-purple flowers appear through the spring, with a faintly darker eye. Choose a partly shaded site with rich, moist soil but excellent drainage.

Clumps may be divided carefully after blooming or in early fall. Evergreen.
