Primula vialii was in full bloom by the lower pond in the Lerner Garden of the Five Senses at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, Maine. This primula is native to China and prefers moist soil and partial shade. Its two-toned flower spikes are unique amongst primulas, and this plant has seen a surge in popularity in recent years.
