Primula japonica ‘Miller’s Crimson’ produces vivid crimson‑red tiers of flowers on tall candelabra stems — dramatic, reliable and perfect for moist, semi‑shaded borders. These 3 garden‑ready plug plants establish quickly and look superb planted in groups near water or in woodland settings.

Primula japonica ‘Miller’s Crimson’ is one of the boldest and most dramatic candelabra primroses, producing deep crimson‑red flower tiers on tall upright stems. Flowering from late spring into early summer, it adds strong vertical presence and vibrant colour to damp, partially shaded areas.

This moisture‑loving perennial thrives in humus‑rich, consistently moist soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens, pond edges, streamside planting, damp borders, and shaded cottage‑style beds. It also performs beautifully in containers with moisture‑retentive compost, where its tall stems rise elegantly above the foliage.

Your order includes 3 × 5cm garden‑ready plug plants, which can be planted directly into moist soil or potted on to grow stronger before planting out. Once established, ‘Miller’s Crimson’ will return every spring and may gently form clumps or spread into natural drifts.
