Primula ‘Wanda Raspberry Red Shades’


English Primrose

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.446.960


Primrose flowers are a true sign of spring, and they combine so beautifully with all kinds of flowering bulbs. This is an extremely popular and ancient heirloom variety, bearing varying shades of red, raspberry, dark pink to scarlet, flowers that smother the bright green leaves in early spring. Perhaps the toughest Primrose of them all, plants quickly spread to form a large clumps that can be shared with friends and neighbours. Divide plants every 2 to 3 years in early fall, to maintain their vigour. Prefers a moist site. Will tolerate full sun in cool summer regions. Keep an eye out for slug damage.
