Primula x pubescens Auricula 'Kaleidoscope'

Primula × pubescens 'Auricula Kaleidoscope' is an award-winning, jewel-like alpine perennial producing an extraordinary range of richly coloured flowers in spring. Shades of crimson, purple, gold, cream, pink, and maroon often appear within the same strain, many featuring contrasting eyes or dusted centres. Descended from alpine species native to the mountains of Europe, auriculas have been treasured by collectors for centuries, with specialist societies devoted entirely to their cultivation. Compact rosettes of fleshy foliage provide the perfect backdrop for the vibrant blooms, making this a wonderful choice for containers, alpine houses, or the front of borders.
