‘Stella Pheasant Eye’ produces deep blue flowers, each veined in a darker blue-purple, and centred by a red-ringed golden eye. An excellent, and winter weather resistant cultivar for basket and container displays, this primrose also works well in the border to compliment spring bulb displays. An easy to grow and maintain burst of colour for late winter through spring.
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.
