Primula beesiana produces beautifully tiered whorls of lilac‑magenta, lightly fragrant flowers in late spring and early summer. These 3 jumbo plug plants establish quickly in moist borders, forming natural drifts over time and adding colour and structure to sheltered or waterside planting schemes.

Primula beesiana, also known as the Candelabra Primrose, is a standout moisture‑loving perennial that produces fragrant, lilac‑magenta flower whorls stacked along tall upright stems. Flowering from late spring into early summer, its tiered blooms create a striking vertical display perfect for damp, humus‑rich borders.

Over time, Primula beesiana will form natural drifts, creating a soft, colourful tapestry ideal for pond edging, streamside planting, rain gardens, bog gardens or any moist/shaded border. Its lush green basal foliage and elegant flower tiers make it a favourite for cottage‑style and wildlife‑friendly planting.
