Primula elatior 'Magnifica'
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 Vernales section of primulas, correctly called section Primula, includes our beloved primrose, cowslip and oxlip, which are usually, but not always, pale yellow. There are also some bright pink species from further afield - not to mention the polyanthus hybrids, with appallingly vivid colours, fortunately kept away from us in municipal plantings in the middles of roundabouts.

Primula elatior 'Magnifica' represents seedlings of a selected form of the oxlip, with a name that does not appear to be generally recognised. Nevertheless the name does give the game away; it is a strong form with large flowers, perhaps a little paler than usual.
