The Oreophlomis section includes Primula rosea and some relatives, and their hybrids. They are lovely spring flowers, all in shades of pink, for cool and damp places, benefitting from being divided every few years, in which case they will soon increase substantially. The leaves of most kinds are bronze when they first emerge in spring.

Primula rosea 'Grandiflora' has brilliant deep, rose pink, yellow-eyed flowers, which first open as the bronze foliage appears, and the stems grow taller as the leaves get larger and turn green. A delightful plant, which thrives in even the wettest places.
