Primula vulgaris ‘Watercolour Blue’ is a compact, early-spring primrose that forms a neat, rounded mound of medium-green foliage topped by masses of delicate sky-blue flowers, each with slightly darker centers — evoking a soft watercolor-painted look. The blossoms emerge as one of the first signs of spring, bringing cheerful cool-season color to woodlands, shaded borders, containers, or alongside spring bulbs. Its tidy habit and long-lasting sterile blooms make it particularly suited for mass plantings, edging, container displays or shaded gardens. Consistent moisture and partial shade help maintain its freshness and extended bloom display.
