Primula ‘Wanda Velvet Red Shades’


English Primrose

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.446.980


Primrose flowers are a true sign of spring, and they combine so beautifully with all kinds of flowering bulbs. The ‘Wanda’ types of English Primrose are vigorous and easy plants, smothered with flowers in early spring. This selection produces velvety flowers in shades of red, scarlet and red-purple. Divide plants every 2 to 3 years in early fall, to maintain their vigour. These perform best with a rich, moist soil. Will tolerate full sun in cool summer regions. Keep an eye out for slugs.
