{"product_id":"primula-vialii","title":"Primula vialii","description":"\u003cp\u003ePrimula vialii brings a distinctive splash of colour to summer planting, with upright flower spikes covered in red buds that gradually open into lilac-purple flowers from the bottom upwards. The changing colours create a striking two-tone effect along each stem, while the low rosette of green foliage keeps the plant neat around the base. Also known as Orchid Primrose, it works particularly well towards the front or middle of a border, where the unusual flower spikes can rise above surrounding planting, and it also makes an interesting choice for patio pots and containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers combine particularly well with grasses, softer foliage plants, and other summer-flowering perennials, adding a different shape and stronger colour to the planting. The spikes can also be cut for a simple indoor display, while bees and other pollinating insects are attracted to the open flowers. A partially shaded position with fertile, moist but well-drained soil will suit this hardy perennial, allowing it to return each year as a reliable part of the summer garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only.
