Primula sieboldii
At Penny's Primulas we have probably the largest collection of commercially available Primula sieboldii in the UK.
In October 2013 we were awarded National Collection Holder status by Plant Heritage for Primula sieboldii Japanese cvs. All our plants met the rigorous specifications required to be awarded this prestigious accolade.
They may look dainty, but they are very hardy and make good garden plants. They should give you years of pleasure. We have included a brief history of the species and guidance on how to grow and propagate Primula sieboldii.

About Penny's Primulas...
Since 2000 we have diligently collected an exciting range of Asiatic Primulas with a particular emphasis on Primula sieboldii cultivars.
All our named Primula sieboldii are produced by vegative propagation – they do not come true from seed. Those that originated from seed strain, for example, ‘Pago Pago’, we have selected what we consider to be the best form and use the parent stock for our divisions.
Earlier this year Penny had the honour of spending time with Mr. Tsuneo Torii from Japan. Mr. Torii has spent most of his life working on the identification and classification of Primula sieboldii, resulting in a published book on the subject. Hence for those who have used our website previously you may find a few alterations in the spelling of our Primula sieboldii cultivars in respect of Mr. Torii’s work.
We are also pleased to announce that we are now able to deliver plants outside of mainland UK. Please email Penny on penny@pennysprimulas.co.uk to discuss options and costs.
In 2016 we will be exhibiting our Primula sieboldii collection at two RHS shows – Cardiff and Malvern in their floral marquees. We will also be exhibiting Asiatic Primulas at Gardeners’ World and Hampton Court floral marquees.
Along with offering Primula sieboldii for sale we also carry a range of latter flowering Asiatic Primulas including many of the candelabra forms such as Primula alpicola, Primula beesiana, Primula florindae and Primula prolifera along with the striking Primula vialii to name only a few.
