Primula sieboldii ‘Utyû’

Small flowered, deep pink with white spots at the centre.  Narrow, notched flat snowflake petals. Sourced from Japan, the name translates as “Red Dragonfly”.  A very attractive Sakurasu which dates from the late 1800s.

Blue hinted pink flower with white central suffusion. Overlapping cherry-blossom petals.  This Primula sieboldii cultivar was raised by Alan Bloom and was kindly provided to us for our national collection by his family.

Flat blooming, cherry blossom petalled thrum.  Pale pink flowers, with pale pink reverse.  Tends to be one of the later and profuse flowering Primula sieboldii cultivars.  We do not know the origins of this cultivar, which we obtained in 2007.

Bright pink thrum with flat, snowflake petals.  This Primula sieboldii cultivar can ‘sport’ but our source plant tends not to.  This cultivar is a relatively recent introduction from the late twentieth century. The name translates as “Informal Meeting”
