Primula × polyantha, the polyanthus primroseorfalse oxlip, is a naturally occurring hybrid species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae.[1][2] It is the result of crosses between Primula veris (common cowslip) and Primula vulgaris (common primrose).[3] It is native to Europe, found where the parent species' ranges overlap, and many artificial hybrid cultivars have also been created for the garden trade.[4][5] Naturally‑occurring individuals (the false oxlips) tend to have yellow flowers, while a wide range of flower colors has been developed in the cultivars (the polyanthus primroses) over the centuries.[2][5]
