Primula (Elatior Grp) Stieletto Red

Introducing the Stunning Primula Stieletto Red: A Bicolor Flowered Beauty for Your Garden

If you are on the lookout for a vibrant and eye-catching addition to your garden, look no further than the Primula (Elatior Grp) Stieletto Red. With its striking red-dark red-N034A colored petals and bicolored distribution, this flower is sure to be a showstopper in any landscape.

The Primula Stieletto Red belongs to the Elatior Group of Primulas and is known for its single flower type. Although it does not have a scent, its stunning coloration more than makes up for it. With its compact size, reaching a height of 5-10 cm, this plant is perfect for containers, borders, or as a ground cover. Its dark green leaves, with a width of 5-7.5 cm and size of 7.5-10 cm, provide a beautiful contrast to the vibrant red flowers.

One noteworthy feature of the Primula Stieletto Red is its flowering months. Unlike most Primulas that bloom in spring, this variety blooms in the colder months of January, November, and December. This makes it a perfect choice for gardeners who want to add color to their winter landscape. While primarily suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 9, 10, and 11, colder climate gardeners can still enjoy this spectacle by bringing it indoors or protecting it in a protected environment during the winter months.

The Primula Stieletto Red also boasts an interesting secondary coloration with its vibrant yellow eye. This adds an extra layer of interest and depth to the already stunning flower. Whether planted in groups or as a standalone specimen, the Primula Stieletto Red is sure to draw attention and admiration from all who see it.

Caring for the Primula Stieletto Red is relatively easy. It prefers a location with partial shade, as full sun can scorch its delicate leaves and petals. Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot, as Primulas do not tolerate soggy conditions. Regular watering is necessary to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

When it comes to fertilization, a slow-release granular fertilizer can be applied in the spring as new growth emerges. Deadheading spent flowers will not only promote continuous blooming but also keep the plant looking tidy and attractive.

Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a novice, the Primula Stieletto Red is a fantastic choice for adding color and interest to your garden. With its compact size, vibrant red petals with a yellow eye, and bicolored distribution, this flower is sure to be a standout wherever it is planted. So why wait? Get your hands on the Primula Stieletto Red and transform your garden into a vibrant and enchanting space.
