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 serratifolia SDR5165 is rarely seen in cultivation. It comes from openings in very wet woods, high (3800 m) in the mountains. There are one or two whorls of yellow flowers, with a stripe of orange along the centre line of each petal, or the colouring may be pale yellow with a deeper yellow stripe.
