Frequently asked questions(5)
Primrose is one of the earliest flowers, starting to bloom in late March — April, depending on climate and weather conditions. Blooming lasts 4-6 weeks.
Primrose survives winter well in open ground. In winter, cover the plant with mulch 5-8 cm thick from fallen leaves or compost. In cold regions (zone 3-4), additionally cover with evergreen branches.
Lack of blooming may be due to insufficient light, excess nitrogen in fertilizers, overwatering or an old plant. Renew plantings every 3-4 years by division.
Primrose is easily propagated by dividing the bush in spring or autumn, or by seeds. Seeds are sown in January-February on moist soil without covering, germinating at 15-20°C for 2-4 weeks.
Primrose loves rich, moist soils with good drainage. Optimal pH is 6.0-7.0. Before planting, add compost or humus. On clay soils, add peat to improve structure.
