Primula Alpicola Violacea

This spectacular and quite beautiful scented primula from Tibet is a very easy clump forming, extremely hardy long-lived garden plant flowering from May into June. It thrives in cool humid situations such as stream sides, edges of ponds and damp hollows where It will spread by self sown seedlings when conditions remain moist, thereby extending the group quite naturally. Thriving well with other moisture loving plants such as Astilbe, its rich, sweetly scented perfume from the violet flowers is carried around the garden on cool still June evenings.
