Got it from my neighbour, bless her, she’s so good to me 🙂 but I’ve got no clue what it is. All she told me is that it likes shade and lots of water. Does anyone know what it is? #plantid

@wilko @bensgarden thanks guys, I think Tracey is correct, the description of it on here sounds more like candelabra 🙂 @KariSamuel thanks

You can change the link very easily by going to your plant list and click on the ✏ icon. From there you can change it to any of the candelabra varieties. Let me know if you have any questions. 😚

The color doesn’t fit with Primula poissonii which is violet with yellow eye in the middle. It could be some different variety of Candelabra primula. Generally they are tall (about 20”) and flowers are usually in several tiers (floors) which is not visible on the photo. Try to check other varieties of candelabra too. @wilko @KariSamuel

@bensgarden I think you might be right, just went through all the different types of primulas on here and veris autumn shades seems to be the one! Thanks for your help 🙂
