Add a touch of the exotic to your garden with Primula vialii, a truly eye-catching primula known for its distinctive two-tone flower spikes. From early to midsummer, this hardy perennial produces dramatic crimson buds that open into soft lavender-lilac flowers, creating a striking torch-like effect above a neat rosette of fresh green foliage. Ideal for bog gardens, pond edges, and moist borders, Primula vialii thrives in damp, well-drained soil with partial shade. It’s a low-maintenance plant that will naturalise beautifully over time, forming vibrant drifts of colour year after year. This pollinator-friendly primula attracts bees and butterflies, bringing life and movement to your garden while requiring little care. Its architectural flowers make a bold statement, pairing beautifully with ferns, hostas, and other shade-loving plants. For a dramatic, long-lasting display with a touch of the unexpected, choose Primula vialii—a must-have for any garden enthusiast. Order now and enjoy its unique beauty!
