Primula sieboldii ‘Smudge’

An unusual cultivar that we raised on the nursery in 2011. When it first flowered the form was of a very small flower with blocks of deep pink and green. It has not flowered like that since then and I failed to keep a photograph.
The flower form has now stabilised to that in the photographs. This is a slow growing and irregular flowering cultivar. We wouldn’t normally name such a hesitant cultivar but it really is special. Named after a tiny feral cat that adopted us one Boxing Day.

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.

Unfortunately we do not know which one. The [...]
