Yolanda... I appreciate your comments. If I lived in a more temperate climate, my garden would be filled with different kinds of primroses; I'd have to say they are my single favorite plant. Don
You know... I usually don't like primroses, I have to confess that. There is a country-garden feel to a bed near the building where I work where they make me smile for a week or so out of the year, but otherwise, eh.
That ragged-edged, snowflake-like white bloom on the last one, though? Gorgeous--I love it! Do you know a cultivar name for it? And do the flowers tend to droop (I see your hand holding it upright) or is that just a stem that's been bent somehow?
Kim... It doesn't have a cultivar name; I just bought it as white sieboldii. They normally aren't floppy; this one was too crowded and shaded right under a shrub that was getting bigger, so was floppy, with long stems. You can buy sieboldii's specifically for the fimbriated petals so they do look like snowflakes. Don
Primula's are such lovely plants. Thanks for the lovely pictures.
