Primula • Hardy Primrose 



In the Hardy Primroses, we have most charming and 

 useful spring-flowering subjects. The Primroses are 

 best suited to the rock-garden, but are quite at home 

 grouped in protected nooks in the hardy garden or 

 edging shady borders. A rich soil and a light mulch 

 during the summer are recommended. As the majority 

 of varieties flower in early spring, the best results are 

 obtained from early fall planting. A protection of 

 leaves or any light material will bring them through 

 winter in safety. i
