The detail
Bring a striking splash of colour to your garden with this collection of three Primrose Queen Neon Violet plants. Part of the acclaimed Queen series, these primroses produce exceptionally large, vivid neon-violet blooms that sit proudly above neat, compact rosettes of fresh green foliage. One of the earliest plants to flower each year, they provide a much-needed source of nectar for bees and other pollinators emerging in spring.
Supplied as three garden-ready plants in 1 litre root-balls, they are well-established and ready to plant straight into borders, containers, window boxes or woodland garden settings. Their low-growing, clump-forming habit makes them ideal for edging pathways, filling gaps beneath shrubs or brightening up patio pots.
