These lovely blooms have a diameter of 2.5 to 3 cm and come in a stunning shade of medium yellow (color code 007A). The flower color is further enhanced by its marginal distribution, which adds a touch of uniqueness to each petal.

Although the flowers are unscented, their vibrant color more than makes up for it. The absence of scent also means that this Primula can be placed near seating areas or entryways without overwhelming your senses.

In addition to its primary color, Primula 'Marli Candy Corn' has secondary colors of red and dark red (color code 042A), which add depth and interest to the overall appearance of the plant.
