An early spring primrose forming a basal rosette of simple dark-green leaves with clusters of bright coloured golden star studded, raspberry petals that fade to a delicate pink at the outer margins. ‘Husky Raspberry Punch’ will brighten the gloomiest of the late winter months, and their lightly scented flowers are an added bonus. Once established in beds, borders and containers, these easy to grow and robust perennials will charm year after year.
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.
