About This Plant
Primula Millers Crimson (Primr), 'Primr', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Primroses are spring-flowering shade perennials with rosettes of crinkled leaves and clusters of flowers in nearly every color.
Part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, humus-rich soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 8. Provide consistent moisture. Watch for vine weevil and slugs.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
