Primula japonica ‘Apple Blossom’ produces soft pink candelabra‑style flower tiers on tall elegant stems, ideal for adding structure and colour to moist, semi‑shaded borders. These 5 garden‑ready plug plants establish quickly and look stunning along streamsides, in woodland gardens or grouped in containers.

Primula japonica ‘Apple Blossom’ is a standout member of the candelabra primrose group, producing tiers of soft pink flowers that rise above lush green foliage in late spring and early summer. Its vertical structure and delicate colouring make it especially striking when planted in groups, where it creates a natural, meadow‑like effect.

This moisture‑loving perennial thrives in damp, humus‑rich soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens, pond edges, stream banks, and shaded borders. Despite preferring moisture, it also performs beautifully in containers, where its tall flower stems add elegance and height to seasonal plantings.

Your order includes 5 × 5cm garden‑ready plug plants. These sturdy plugs can be planted straight out into moist soil or potted on for a few weeks until you’re ready to plant. Once established, Primula japonica ‘Apple Blossom’ returns strongly each year and may form impressive clumps.
