Primula 'Sapphire'



A pale lilac flowered cultivar that I bought from Tale Valley Nursery in 2016.
The National Auricula and Primula Society say on their web page:

"Raised by Frank Shipston. Later flowering than most allionii hybrids and is therefore a regular visitor to the show bench around the end of April."

David Philbey say in the Bulletin of the alpine Garden Society:

"'Sapphire' (h) [F. R. Shipton}. Sapphire blue flowers, small white thrum-eyed. Mid season, easy, very floriferous."
