A moisture-loving perennial suited to pond margins and bog gardens, grown for its tall flower spikes where deep red buds open to reveal purple blooms. It offers colour to damp planting schemes through early summer and holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit. You receive three plants, each supplied in a 9cm pot, ready to go straight into damp ground.
Primula vialii is a moisture-loving perennial best known for its two-tone flower spike: dark red buds open in sequence up a tapering stem, revealing purple blooms beneath as the display progresses. This distinctive flowering sequence has earned the plant the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
It suits pond margins, bog gardens and any border that stays permanently damp, giving colour to a damp planting scheme through early summer. It stays compact as it grows, which makes it easy to fit into a smaller bog bed or along a narrow pond edge.
What you get: three Primula vialii plants, each supplied in its own 9cm pot.
What sets it apart is the way the red buds give way to purple flowers on the same spike, a combination distinctive enough to carry the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
