Primula sieboldii ‘Aoi-no-ue’

Flat blooming, slender petalled thrum.  Flushed pink flowers, darker towards the centre of the flower. Sourced from Japan by Martin Nest Nurseries. A very nice sakurasu, which looks very good in the evening light. The name translates as “Morning Sun on the Shore”.

Wave blooming, cherry blossom petalled pin.  White flowers with pale blue suffusion and pale blue reverse.  Like many of the ‘blue’ cultivars, this tends to flower later in the season.  We do not know the origins of this very pretty compact sakurasu cultivar, which we sourced in 2005.

Flat blooming, notch petalled pin.  Snowflake flowers suffused with pale mauve blue.  Deeply notched petals.  This sakurasu cultivar was raised by Alan Bloom.

Wave blooming, overlap petalled thrum.  Pure white flowers.  Tends to be lower growing that normal and one of the later cultivars to come into flower. One of our first cultivars, from Martin Nest Nurseries and a very neat and attractive Primula sieboldii.
