'Fire Dragon' ignites spring displays with bright golden blooms dramatically edged in fiery red frills. This semi-evergreen perennial primrose forms crinkled dark green foliage in compact rosettes. Rising above on sturdy stems, the extra-large flowers begin in early-spring, creating the effect of flickering flames to light up your beds and borders.
