Primula vulgaris ‘Carrigdale’
Primula vulgaris 'Carrigdale' is a primrose with white and pink blooms with yellow-green eyes.
Primula vulgaris ‘Carrigdale’ is a pretty little primrose that is very floriferous with multitudes of single, crinkled flowers happily popping their heads above crisp, upward facing green leaves. The blooms are white and may have a hint of blush-pink as the flowers age around dainty yellow-green eyes. Enjoys moist but well drained soil in a woodland setting, at the front of the border, and in a pot. An early source of nectar for the pollinators.
