Care and Watering

Plant in a cool, partly shaded spot or morning sun with protection from hot afternoon sun. Choose acidic to neutral soil rich in organic matter. Tip: keep soil consistently moist, mulch, and monitor drainage to prevent rot.
The powdery primrose Primula pulverulenta adds elegant, cylindrical flower spikes that bring color and structure to borders and natural corners. This perennial gem pairs beautifully with other perennials and is loved as a spring bloomer and a summer bloomer.
