  • Flowers from mid-winter into spring
  • Perfect for beds, borders, patio pots and containers

Blazing like miniature fireworks, Primrose 'Chinese New Year' brings an explosion of colour to the garden when little else is in bloom. Its richly ruffled double flowers combine glowing shades of golden yellow and vibrant red, filling beds, borders and containers with warmth, colour and a sweet fragrance from mid-winter into spring.

 

Inspired by the colours of the Chinese New Year celebrations, the fiery red and gold blooms traditionally symbolise happiness, prosperity and good fortune. The densely layered flowers hold their shape beautifully and stand up well to typical winter weather, helping displays stay fresh and colourful throughout the colder months with very little maintenance.

 

Easy to grow and wonderfully low maintenance, 'Chinese New Year' thrives in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Remove faded flowers as needed to encourage fresh blooms and enjoy spectacular displays that continue well into spring.

How To Grow

Garden Ready Plants:
If you can't plant your Garden Ready Plants immediately, keep them well watered until you're ready. They can be stood in a shallow tray of water for a short time to prevent them drying out. Garden Ready Plants are large and well established, so they can be planted straight into their final position in beds, borders, containers or hanging baskets.
