Primrose 'Romance'


Primula 'Romance' (Primrose) is a short-lived perennial forming a rosette of dark green, attractive leaves, fully covered with large, bright pink, double flowers. Blooming from early to late spring, the ravishing blossoms are adorned with a thin white ribbon at their petal tips, adding definite charm to the plant. Perfect for the front of borders or containers.

  • This plant is very versatile and can be used in beds and borders, cottage gardens, city gardens, or in containers. Perfect for underplanting shrubs and roses.
  • A low-maintenance plant (cut back after flowering). Watch out for pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, vine weevil, slugs, and glasshouse red spider mites. May be subject to gray molds.
  • Propagate by seed sown in spring.
