The difference between Primula and Primula

1. Difference of blades

The leaves of Primula are oblong or obovate-elliptical, with a blunt head, a narrow base forming a winged petiole, and a wrinkled surface. The leaves of primrose are ovate, elliptical or rectangular, with a rounded tip, a cordate or truncated base, and shallowly fissured edges.

2. Difference in color

The flower stalks of Primula are multiple, about 3.5-15 cm long, and are single flowers at the terminal end. The flower colors are rich and varied, including yellow, flesh-red, blue, dark red, purple, light blue, pink, light red, orange-yellow and bronze. Usually, there are various patterns and spots on the corolla. The flowering period is from January to April. The primrose scape is much taller than the former, about 10-40 cm, and the color of the flowers is also relatively less than the former, being pink, light blue-purple or nearly white. The flowering period is from February to May.
