An unusual white picotee-edged primrose with remarkably stable and resilient rose pink petals. Large flowered, ‘Eclipse Rose Rim’ provides rich colour at a time of year when it is needed most, and closer inspection of the central golden star reveals additional beauty and detail with radiating honey coloured veins enticing early season pollinators.
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
