Hardy Perennial
FROM £14.99
An array of colourful blooms throughout late spring and early summer
A staple perennial for damp and shady areas
Hybrids combining the best traits of both parents
Bringing together the best traits from both of its candelabra primula parents, Primula bulleyana and Primula beesiana, Primula x bulleesiana hybrids represent a fantastic new colour mix of this ever-popular perennial. A rainbow of pastel pink, peach, apricot, orange, cream and mauve blooms are held in tiered clusters along the upright stems, each tier opening about a week apart to give a long flowering season. Thriving in damp soil, candelabra primulas are fantastic hardy perennials for bringing vivid colour to shady areas, stream-sides, pond margins and bog gardens. They pair beautifully with foliage shade plants such as hostas and ferns. Plant Primula x bulleesiana in groups to light up shady corners with a vibrant and long-lasting display throughout late spring and early summer. Â Height and spread: 60cm (24in).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Candelabra primulas thrive in cool, moist conditions and are best planted in humus-rich soil that never dries out completely. Choose a position in partial shade or dappled woodland light, although plants can tolerate more sun if the soil remains consistently damp. Water regularly during dry spells, mulch annually with compost or leaf mould to retain moisture, and remove spent flower stems to keep plants tidy. Divide congested clumps every few years in autumn or early spring to maintain vigour and encourage reliable flowering.
