A beautiful, and lightly scented, bicoloured primrose with purple-blue outer petals transitioning to white and studded with a characteristic yellow, starry eye. A real attention grabber during late winter and early spring, 'Blue Bicolour' is fully hardy against any inclement weather, and is sure to accentuate winter and spring borders and pots.
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
