Product Description
Introduce the vibrant hues of the morning sun to your garden with our Primula Alaska ‘Tequila Sunrise’. The bright yellow blooms, edged in cerise, evoke the warmth and energy of early morning skies, bringing a burst of colour to your borders and containers from late winter into spring.
Compact and low-growing, these hardy perennials form neat rosettes of green foliage, with velvety blooms typically reaching 20 cm in height. Perfect for edging borders, brightening containers or naturalising in beds, they thrive in moist, humus-rich soil and prefer partial shade, though they’ll tolerate some sun in cooler areas. These early bloomers also provide a valuable nectar source for pollinators emerging after winter.
We recommend pairing ‘Tequila Sunrise’ with deeper-toned Tulips or rich blue Hyacinths for a dynamic spring display. Position them near doorways, along paths or across the front of mixed borders to enjoy their bold colours up close.

Growing at a glance…
Our plants are available in two main formats to suit different gardening needs and planting times: Maxi plug plants and garden-ready plug plants.
Maxi plugs are young, UK-grown plants that will need care and attention. Supplied in trays of 40 or 80, they measure approximately 6-9 cm in height with a 2.2 cm plug width. When potted up and grown for a few weeks, they are capable and frost-hardy enough for winter conditions.
For a more immediate planting solution, our garden-ready alternatives come in trays of 15 or 30 larger plugs, each up to 15 cm tall with a plug width of around 5 cm. These robust plants can be planted straight into beds, borders or containers upon arrival and are well suited for both spring and autumn planting - though they should be avoided during periods of severe frost.
Regardless of type, all plants arrive nursery-fresh in protective packaging and benefit from regular watering after planting to help roots establish. For best results, plant in a weed-free location with adequate sunlight and continue to deadhead or prune as needed to encourage healthy, prolonged growth.
