Deep red flowers with yellow picotees and centers are the theme of this superior hose-in-hose strain of Polyanthus primroses from seed from the world's foremost Primula nursery, Barnhaven (hose-in-hose means that each flower is actually multiple corollas nested inside each other).  This strain dates back to Victorian times, when it was popular.  3.5-inch pots.  Zone 5.  Photo: Barnhaven
