Striking and statuesque, Primula pulverulenta is a Candelabra Primula that creates an amazing display from late spring into midsummer. Deep reddish-purple flowers are arranged in whorls at intervals along upright, sturdy stems, which erupt from basal rosettes of lush mid-green foliage.
Hailing from Sichuan in China, where it grows alongside streams and creeks, this hardy perennial likes a fertile, moist soil but dislikes its crown being covered with water. It looks stunning planted in drifts through a partially shaded, moist meadow, where it will happily self-seed and wander over the years. Alternatively, combine it with Hosta, Aruncus, and Sanguisorba menziesii for an interesting and colourful combination of textures in a bog garden.
