Bumble Bee Primrose

Bumble Bee Primrose

A historic cultivar with fragrant, unusually coloured blossoms.

The petite blooms create a captivating display of deep brown to nearly black, encircling a sunny yellow heart and edged with more yellow. As a result, Bumble Bee Primrose mirrors the enchanting patterns of the plant's namesake insects. Standing a quaint 6-8", this perennial is ideal for container life or as a border gem, blooming from spring's arrival to the cusp of summer. The delicately scented flowers are also excellent for underplanting.

Important Shipping Notes:

Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.

We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
