Primula warshenewskyana

Stemless pink cushion for moist and cool spots.

From Afghanistan to S. Tadzhikistan and W. Himalaya. Stemless flowers of glowing rose pink appear amongst the compact foliage of this little creeping carpet in very early spring and late winter. H5cm x W25cm. It is "stemless" and forms low cushions with longer toothed leaves. I have taken the liberty of sharing the work of "Jasmine Star Outdoor Photography". Jasmine has taken an incredible range of plant and scenery shots in the Himalayas as she treks for ages and miles here. She also shows in growing next to running water too, so moist soil, shade. Ideal for crevices. Compared to P. clarkei. it is much easier to grow and makes quite a splash.

P. clarkei has more rounded leaves and is a tighter much smaller clump, whereas P. warshenewskyana is a runner. And when we are talking darling wee primulas, what a wonderful thing - one of my favourites!
