'Crescendo'® Primroses banish the gloom of winter, signaling the return of spring with vivid splashes of color. Eight bright colors including the new 'Crescendo® Wine', as well as the improved 'Crescendo® White' and 'Crescendo® Rose Shades' bring a bright cheerful presence to the spring landscape.

'Crescendo'® also boasts great winter hardiness and superior disease resistance. Abundant and long lasting flowers are displayed 6-8" (15-20 cm) above the foliage of 'Crescendo'®. This very large flowered polyanthus type Primula produces multiple stems that are adorned with clusters of 2" (5 cm) flowers.

The 'Crescendo'® series can be produced under cooler temperatures, making it a very economical crop for growers to produce. Non-flowering plants for the home landscape and large municipal plantings can be planted in September and October for color the following spring. For flowering potted plants, 'Crescendo'® Primula can be forced into flower from February throughout the spring. 'Crescendo'® is ideally suited for flowerbeds, borders, and containers in partially shaded locations with other early spring flowering items such as Aquilegia 'Spring Magic'®, Doronicum 'Little Leo', Arabis 'Snowfix' and 'Compinkie'®.
