Primrose (Primula) 
English Primroses are among the finest of all 
hardy plants, thriving admirably in moist, cool, 
half-shady situations, and protected in winter by a 
light covering of dry leaves or meadow hay. They 
are perfectly hardy, and only require protection 
from our hot sun. They may be grown in cold- 
frames, planted out for early spring blooming, and 
then removed to an out-of-the way place to make 
room for later-blooming plants. They are also 
easily forced in winter.
