Primula vulgaris ‘Dunberg’
Primula vulgaris 'Dunberg' is a primrose with single blooms of peachy-creams with yellow centres and dark purple evergreen leaves.
Primula vulgaris ‘Dunberg’ offers a striking take on the primrose. This cultivar is floriferous with multitudes of single, wavy blooms of peachy-creams with sunshine yellow eyes. The leaves are chocolate burgundy, instead of green, with a purple sheen that contrasts strikingly with the flowers. 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.
