Primula
sieboldii is a perennial herb characterized by its curly,
white hairs, which are found throughout the plant and grow in
damp areas, such as streams or forest edges. Leaves are 4-10 cm
long and 3- 6 cm wide, oblong, with many crinkles on their
surfaces and margins that are shallowly cut in prominently.
Flower stalks, 15-40 cm tall, arise from the center of the
leaves and bear red-purple flowers in an umbel. Corollas measure
2- 3 cm in diameter and 1-1.3 cm long, shaped like a high cup,
with the upper parts deeply cleft in five and the lobes
shallowly cut in two afresh, with throats somewhat white.
Calyxes, green, deeply cut in five. Bloom time: April-May.
