There are many varieties of Primrose. All have basal
rosettes of leaves and tubular, bell-shaped, or flat (primrose-like)
flowers. There are primroses to suit almost every garden situation.
Primula vulgaris or Common Primrose is an early spring favorite.
It bears clusters of single flat flowers in many bright colors with
white or yellow eyes. The leaves are a fresh green lance-shaped to oval,
crinkled, toothed or scalloped. The Common Primrose will grow 6 to 8
inches in height and a width of 6 to 8 inches. This primrose grows best
in partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Primroses due well in rock
gardens, in borders, by water gardens and they will brighten the house
when brought inside. |
