Primula auricula 'Mrs L. Hearn'



I bought it fropm the AGS show at Exeter in 2016. The label said:

"Maroon flowers, gold centred alpine."

My plant fits the description. Unfortunately Barnhaven Primulas say:

"Light-centred alpine. Blue to grey blue. Raised by James Douglas in 1937."

And Peninsula Primulas say:

"A wonderful alpine with a bright white centre to each flower. The flower colour is Blue, grey blue to Cambridge blue. The flowering season is April / May depending on season and locality. Alpine auriculas can be grown equally well in the open and under cold greenhouse conditions. They are especially suited to culture in sinks, troughs and other containers."

So my plant is wrong!
