Primula 'You & Me Cream'

Description

This primula hose-in-hose variant has been unjustly neglected the past 30 years or so. In this delightful form, the calyx of the primula flower is transformed into a second petaloid structure, giving the impression of one identical flower within the other. The hose-in-hose label evokes the Elizabethan era when men wore overlapping pairs of stockings with the outer stocking turned down - which gives you an idea of this flower's fabled history. This spring bloomer in creamy pastel looks wondrous massed in drifts in the shade. Planted in a pot, it welcomes prolonged, close-up viewing. Growing to 8", it prefers part shade and humusy, wet soil.

Pot Size: 2.5 inches
