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 'Johanna' is a lovely hybrid derived from Primula warschenewskiana and P. rosea, which makes low mats of round leaves, and lots of short-stemmed rosy pink flowers, the pink colour lightening to white towards the centre, and then a distinct bright yellow eye.
