Primrose (Primula vulgaris 'Candelabra') - Description

Tall primrose for late spring color. One of the most stately primroses and a real performer in a moist, shady spot. When spring bulbs are through, this hardy beauty unfurls 15" tall flower towers in delicate shades of red, pink and white. Self-sows generously, without being invasive.

Clusters of flowers that are usually salverform. Many are early bloomers.

Primrose (Primula vulgaris 'Candelabra') - Growth

Hardy and tender perennials. Rosettes of narrow to broadly rounded leaves. Primula is very diverse and includes many species with differing needs. Typically, Primroses grow well in regions with cool summers. Some alpine species may also require dry conditions during the winter. Primroses work well in the garden. Plant in bog sites, nearby a water source, in a rock garden, or in a border. Less hardy species should be grown indoors, in a cool or temperate greenhouse in containers, or as a houseplant. There are five major types of hybrids of Primula: Auricula, Candelabra, Acaulis, Polyanthus, and Juliana.
