About This Plant
Primula 'Primlet' Semi-double Rose (Primrose), 'Primlet', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
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 plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
