Primula vulgaris 'Belarina Valentine' | Belarina Valentine Primrose

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Primula vulgaris ‘Belarina Valentine’ produces fully double, rosette-shaped flowers in a deep, saturated red that reads as ruby to garnet in cool spring light. Blooms appear in late winter through early spring, rising just above a dense rosette of softly textured, green leaves. The layered petals form tight, formal blossoms that hold their color well as they age, creating a rich focal point early in the season. Flowers are borne singly on short stems, giving the plant a neat, compact presentation.

This cultivar is valued for seasonal containers, woodland borders, and shaded garden beds where early color is essential. Its tidy habit allows it to blend smoothly with bulbs and other early perennials, while the long-lasting blooms extend visual interest during the transition from winter to spring.
