Primula 'Sunshine Star'

Primula 'Sunshine Star' is believed to be a Primula x Juliana hybrid. The brilliant yellow, attractively notched petals are set off dramatically by the sunny orange star in the throat of the flower. It blooms for weeks and weeks in early spring and is very fragrant. This is a compact plant, reaching just 10-25 cm (3-8 in), and is very hardy.

This month's contest winner will receive three Primula 'Sunshine Star' supplied by Sunshine Farm & Gardens.
