    I think it's a primula obonica, as already suggested, I've seen them in the supermarket in the indoor plant section.

    Definitely a primula obonica, I've got a purple one on the coffee table. If you take it out of its pot, you will probably find that it's root bound and should be potted on into a slightly bigger pot, otherwise it will have to be watered practically every day.

    Checked that, Sue.  Roots just getting to the edges so not quite pot-bound yet image.  Mum bought it from a supermarket, unlabelled, for £1.99 I think so it's not doing badly.

    If it's a primula, can't it go outside?

    It will not take any frost, it's intended to be a houseplant.

    OK thanks.  I'll bring it in then!  Maybe a holiday in the sun during the summer image
