Primrose 'Chinese New Year' is hard to resist, with densely ruffled double flowers packed with golden-yellow petals splashed and edged with fiery red. Each bloom has a wonderfully full, layered appearance, bringing rich colour and texture to the garden during the colder months.
There's another treat when you get close – the flowers are beautifully fragrant, making this a particularly lovely primrose for pots near a doorway, path or patio where you can enjoy its scent as well as its colour. Planted in groups, those warm reds and yellows create a wonderfully rich display.
Compact and hardy, 'Chinese New Year' stands up well to typical winter weather and continues flowering into spring. Its celebratory red and gold colouring gives it a character all of its own, making it a memorable choice for brightening the garden early in the year.
