A very pretty, hardy primrose with beautiful, magenta-rose coloured petals and and bright golden centres above rosettes of rough, textured leaves. Great for winter displays, pair 'Raspberry Rose' with miniature bulbous perennials such as our Rockery Daffodil Collection for a charming spring display.
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.
