Bold, vibrant, and impossible to ignore, Bouquet Perfect™ Scarletta English Primrose brings show-stopping color to early spring gardens. As part of the Bouquet Perfect™ Series, this variety forms a neatly rounded mound of fresh green foliage topped with large, clean blooms that look like the crown of a perfectly arranged floral centerpiece. Its scarlet-red petals—some of the largest in the series, rivaling the standout size of 'Watercolour Blue'—ignite shady spaces with a burst of fiery brightness.
Unlike many Primroses that peak early and bow out quickly, Bouquet Perfect™ Scarletta English Primrose is bred for endurance. Thanks to its sterile flowers, the plant channels its energy into producing bloom after bloom, stretching well beyond the standard Primula season. This long-lasting display gives gardeners a richer, more reliable color show during that early-season window when gardens are just waking from winter.
Perfect for woodland edges, border fronts, and shade-rich areas, this Primrose thrives in cool conditions and partial shade, delivering consistent performance with very little fuss. Whether you're creating a spring display or craving color in low-light spots, Bouquet Perfect™ Scarletta English Primrose brings high-impact drama and a long-lasting pop of scarlet that elevates any planting design.
