Primula cernua

Hard to believe that this striking plant comes from the same family as the common primrose. A spike of startling cup-shaped light blue/violet flowers which can grow up to 40 cm.  Dislikes very wet conditions in winter.

Origins: Yunnan-Sichuan borderlands, where it grows in relatively dry pine forests on sandstone. 

Culture: well-drained gritty compost in pots, troughs or rockery. Dislikes winter wet.
