Primula vialii
Primula vialii has amazing pagodas of lavender pink flowers emerging from bright red buds. A marvel of the genus!
Primula vialii has unique spikes of scarlet red buds that open to lavender flowers. Plants clump quickly and can send up multiple flower spikes. Short-lived for most gardeners though at Dart’s Hill Garden a clump has persisted for many years in full sun in moist soil where an underground seep passes by. Try it in summer moisture but good winter drainage. Worth trying for the intrigue and fun. We are not sure if ‘Miracle’ is any different than the species.
