The results of some seed from the Hardy Plant Society seed list. The Alpine Garden Society encyclopedia says: "Similar to P. bulleyana ssp. beesiana, differing principally in lacking farina, darker green leaves with a purple mid-rib and dark red to purple flowers with a greenish eye. China, extreme north-western Yunnan and north-east Burma in wet meadows and forests, 2700-3200 m. A waterside primula, flourishing in permanently wet sites, but less invasive than P. bulleyana. I don't really have anywhere suitable for it so I gave a lot away and killed the remainder. There are several distinct stocks in cultivation, probably as a result of hybridisation. I do not know how close this is to the species. |
