It is a substantial herbaceous perennial growing to {{convert|120|cm|0|abbr=on}} tall by {{convert|90|cm|0|abbr=on}} wide. In summer the flower stalks rise from basal rosettes of {{convert|5|-|20|cm|0|abbr=on}} long leaves. They bear clusters of 20–40 yellow, pendent, bell-like, delicately scented flowers with a mealy white bloom.[1] The plant was first collected in 1924 by Frank Kingdon-Ward and was named after his wife Florinda. This plant grows best in very moist conditions as its home is the margins of rivers. It is cold-hardy as long as its roots are not allowed to dry out. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|title=RHS A-Z encyclopedia of garden plants|year=2008|publisher=Dorling Kindersley|location=United Kingdom|isbn=1405332964|pages=1136}} {{Commons|Primula florindae}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q1581772}}2. ^{{cite web|title=RHS Plant Selector - Primula florindae|url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=1520|accessdate=28 May 2013}} 2 : Flora of Tibet|Primula |
