Contrasting beautifully and dramatically with its dark, almost bronze coloured foliage. ‘Obsidian Antique Rose’ sparkles with a radiant, gold-centred eye surrounded by rose-pink petals, each finely etched with darker raspberry veins. A captivating combination that looks stunning in large swathes, or as part of a colourful mix with other primroses in the Obsidian series.
