[4] Primula conjugens is a thick-rooted perennial with narrow oval-shaped leaves around the base.

[3] It erects slim, tall stems which are dark in color and are topped with inflorescences of one to seven showy flowers.

It has five reflexed sepals in shades of magenta (or, rarely, white) which lie back against the body of the flower.

From the corolla mouth protrude large dark red or black anthers surrounding a threadlike pink stigma.

[5] It grows in seasonally wet areas of habitats including: sagebrush steppe and sagebrush scrub, yellow pine forest, wetland-riparian zones, and moist slopes and meadows of mountains.
