Contrasting beautifully and dramatically with its dark, almost bronze coloured foliage. ‘Obsidian Antique Rose’ sparkles with a radiant, gold-centred eye surrounded by rose-pink petals, each finely etched with darker raspberry veins. A captivating combination that looks stunning in large swathes, or as part of a colourful mix with other primroses in the Obsidian series.
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.
