Primula burmanica
Currently this plant is unavailable. However, we may have it in the future, so please if you wish to be added to a wish list.

The candelabra primulas (the Proliferae section) are wonderful plants, originating from China and the Himalaya, for woodland or damp, even extremely wet, places. They make clumps of strong leaves, deciduous in some species and persisting through the winter in others, and then send up their tall stems. At intervals up the stems there are whorls of ten or so flowers, each ring opening in succession, perhaps one every five or six days, . As there can be up to six, even seven, whorls, that gives an exceptional flowering period. So there can be a mass of colour – and that colour can be brilliant orange or yellow, red, pink, white, even dark maroon.

Primula burmanica has up to half a dozen whorls of deep red flowers. It is distinguished from Primula beesiana by its lack of farina (white meal) on stems and leaves, and from some red forms of Primula japonica by ... not a lot.
