Probably both! Primula is the genus which includes the plants called
polyanthus. If it has multiple flowers per stem, then it will be
called a polyanthus - if not, it will often be called a primula, and
could well be a primrose hybrid.

It's a very common colour for modern polyanthus, so don't bet on it
being a named variety.
