The Primula (Elatior Grp) Stieletto Pink is a stunning flowering plant that is sure to add a touch of color to any garden. With its single flower type and unscented petals, it may not fill the air with fragrance, but its vibrant pink-medium purple blooms make up for it.

Although this plant is not winter hardy in colder regions (USDA-zones 9, 10, 11), it is well worth cultivating for those fortunate enough to live in milder climates.

The Primula Stieletto Pink is known for its lush foliage as well. The dark green leaves, which measure around 5 to 7.5 cm in width and 7.5 to 10 cm in size, create a lovely backdrop for the vibrant flowers. The plant thrives in well-drained, moist soil and prefers a humus-rich environment to support its growth.
