Description

These fantastically striking Primula vialii will provide a splash of vivid colour to borders and patio pots.

Also known as the Chinese Pagoda Primrose or Orchid Primrose, their unique, violet-pink flower heads, each with a striking, bright-red, central spike rise majestically on slender, upright stems from the plant below.

Perfect for shady borders or pots on the patio where they can get afternoon shade, these colourful Primula will certainly be a talking point, and look even better when grown in groups!

Each of your plants will form a compact habit of deeply-veined, lance-shaped leaves that will grow to about 30cm long. During the winter, the foliage will die back, and the plants becomes dormant.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to be planted out  (Dormant Sept - Mar).

Top Tips
For best results grow Primula vialii in moist soil in partial shade. Large clumps can be divided after flowering.
Care Information
  • Prefers a damp soil with plenty or added organic matter in partial sun. Requires little attention.
  • Remember that the roots must not dry out, so water regularly during hot, dry periods to prevent the soil from drying.
  • Deadhead faded primula flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced or leave the spent flowers in place to allow them to self-seed.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
