Will curly Primulina 'Loki' be a good one?

Primulina 'Loki' with curly leaves
Curly leaf ‘Loki’ appears.

            Plant mutations almost never happen, except when they do.  Many forms of new plants have evolved from random spontaneous mutations, often during propagation.

            This curly leaf form of Primulina ‘Loki’ was recently discovered by Vicky at Gary’s Specialty Plants.

            It’s not clear yet if this will be a worthwhile clone.  It will be of interest to plant collectors to enter in flower shows but probably not be better for mass production.


            And yes, I’m propagating the leaves to confirm that it will reproduce vegetatively.
