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 'Peter Klein' is a choice hybrid of Primula clarkii, which soon make a mat deep green, rounded leaves and masses of really bright pink flowers.
