Overview

A 'candelabra' primula forming semi-evergreen rosettes of leaves, which give rise to upright tiers of reddish-pink flowers held on pale stems in early summer. Primula beesiana is a dramatic good choice for a damp, woodland garden and will happily naturalise if allowed to self-seed, so don't deadhead after flowering if you are looking to create a swathe of rich colour en masse. Found growing wild in the mountain meadows of China, for best results in the UK, grow in moist, acidic to neutral soil, in partial shade.

Care guide

Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
