Spring blooming perennial with pink.

magenta, coral or white blooms

of flowers resembling a candelabra

Propagation tips:

Primrose seeds need a cold treatment to germinate so sprinkle seeds directly on moist soil in the fall or late winter. Be sure to label the area with a plant stake so seedlings will not be weeded out by mistake in the spring.
