‘Blue Ripples’ has fully double, white flowers with deep, violet-blue peripheral borders, thin white margins and yellow centres that nestle above a basal rosette of roughly textured, oval green leaves. Perfect for pots and containers, this long flowering primula, is a superb edging plant too!
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
