This description is for (Primula beesiana):

A beautiful example of the genus, primula beesiana provides both lush greenery and a remarkably attractive floral display in summer. It is often called the bee’s primrose but also shares the common name, the candelabra primrose, with several other . It forms dense rosettes of large, ovate, slightly scalloped, mid- green , and produces a tall floral stem in summer from which whorls of tubular, five-petalled pink or purple blossoms emerge. Bee’s primrose thrives in humus-rich, moist acidic loam soil, preferably in partial shade, as full sun will likely dry the soil out. Ideal for boggy woodland areas, it is also popularly used in cottage gardens. Pruning after flowering is recommended.
