Ordinary Primrose-Perennial



Do not confuse this plant with the Evening version. This plant grows very low to the ground and needs to be placed in the very front of all gardens. The leaf looks like lettuce of some kind or even spinach. The flowers come in a huge variety of colors. At season end, just leave what is remaining there. It will regrow and spread by itself. I have these growing under my Japenese Maple as a bottom filler.

Good: comes back by itself each year, grows close to ground so it wont fall over, comes in a huge variety of flower colors, transplants well

Bad: doesn't spread quickly, leaves tend to burn in full fun, hard to seperate, no fragrance
Season: Mid June- Mid August
