Primula cortusoides
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.

These are woodland plants, with soft, hairy, more or less round leaves, which may be lobed or slightly toothed, and loose umbels of bright pink flowers, sometimes with two or three whorls of flowers. The plants in the genus Cortusa have now been shown to be Primulas, and their DNA puts them in the Cortusoides section. What a surprise! The ones that look like Cortusa really are the same thing. However, we still list them separately as Primula (Cortusa). We also list the varieties of Primula sieboldii separately, although that species is in the Cortusoides section.

Primula cortusoides is a name under which the plants formerly known as Primula cortusoides and Primula saxatilis have been brought together. One is from the Urals and western Siberia and the other from far eastern Siberia and northern China. They make clumps of long-stemmed, slghtly hairy leaves, with rather tall, slender flower stems carrying typically six to twelve starry, bright rose pink flowers in a loose umbel. This will do well in a partly shaded place, with soil that drains well.
