Polyanthus Primrose 'Francisca', Primrose 'Francisca'
Vigorous, award-winning Primula ‘Francisca’ (Polyanthus Primrose) is a semi-evergreen perennial producing umbels of large, flat, slightly ruffled, pale jade green flowers, 2.5 in. (4 cm), adorned with a star-shaped, yellow heart. It blooms far longer than most primroses, from early spring to mid-summer, and remains attractive for many weeks or even months. Easy to grow, this unusual primrose looks terrific in the garden or containers. A real conversation piece! Excellent cut flowers with a long vase life (up to 3 weeks).
