Primula beesiana

Candelabra primulas form semi-evergreen rosettes of leaves, from the middle of which appear upright spikes of small flowers grouped in loose, tiered clusters in early summer. Plants are best grown in groups and allowed to self-seed, so don't deadhead after flowering.

Found growing wild in the mountain meadows of China, Primula beesiana is a dramatic sight in summer, especially when grown en masse. Tiers of reddish-pink flowers are held on pale stems above rosettes of lance-shaped leaves. It's a good choice for a damp, woodland garden. For best results grow in moist, acidic to neutral soil, in partial shade.
