Unnamed collection seedling, family Primulaceae. Horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross between Primula auricula and Primula hirsuta, this seedling clearly expresses the auricula heritage through its color and habit, cultivated here in rockery among stone blocks.
The rosette is compact, formed of spatulate, thick, and fleshy leaves, with a slightly bluish glaucous green, a soft and velvety surface to the touch, with finely toothed edges. The whole has this compact and dense habit characteristic of well-formed hybrids of the group.
The flowers, borne in an umbel on a short, upright stem, are a bright and clear yellow, with well-spread and slightly notched petals. The center features a very distinct creamy white farinose eye, surrounded by a more pronounced yellow ring, with visible stamens at the heart of the tube. This combination of yellow and farinose white, without any other hue, recalls the forms closest to the wild parent species.
In its natural habitat, the flowering of the parent species extends from April to June depending on altitude. In cultivation, this seedling blooms in April-May. It requires excellent drainage, humus-rich soil, partial shade exposure, and protection against stagnant winter moisture.
