A seedling Primula from a lovely group that is making a welcome revival. Originating in Elizabethan times this group of plants has certainly stood the test of time. It is actually a polyanthus with the most exquisitely marked silver edged pink flowers. Borne March-April, it is one of the nicest spring flowers. Height 20cm (8"). Prefers a slightly shaded humus rich site.
