A robust primrose hybrid bearing extra-large, bubbly flowers on sturdy stems above attractive dark green foliage. The beautiful two-tone blooms feature soft yellow petals blushed with dusky pink, flower generously from late winter into spring. Planted in groups for maximum effect, the upright stems of ‘Showstopper Bucks Fizz’ complement pink and pastel flowering tulips such as our Mount Tacoma & Angelique tulip combination
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.
