Polyantha Primrose

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.445.530

Primroses are among the most popular of spring-flowering perennials, blooming for weeks on end. Plants grow best in light shade, and prefer a rich, moist soil that will not dry out during the summer months. This unique selection unusual ruffled or frilled flowers of lime green with a yellow eye. Unlike other varieties, the blooms remain attractive for many weeks or even months. Plants should be divided every 2 to 3 years in early fall, to maintain good vigour. Sure to be a conversation piece!
