Candelabra primulas form semi-evergreen rosettes of leaves, from the middle of which appear upright spikes of small flowers grouped in loose, tiered clusters in early summer. Plants are best grown in groups and allowed to self-seed, so don't deadhead after flowering.
Primula 'Inverewe' is a lovely candelabra primula with bright orange flowers. For best results grow it in moist shade, such as around the edge of a pond. A hybrid of Primula pulverulenta and Primula cockburniana, 'Inverewe' is sterile, so propagate by division only, in autumn.
