Description
10" tall x 18" wide (seed propagated). A heat loving plant that thrives in sunny, dry areas along baking south and west facing walls and pavement areas. Spreading rapidly on shallow roots when the hot summer weather arrives, give this beauty plenty of room to grow as it will overrun smaller, less vigorous plants. Preferring unimproved, well-drained soils, this plant requires little extra water once established. Not generally recommended for gardeners living in cold, short season climates.

Probably the wrong variety for my area
"We have Mexican Primrose that grows in our AZ 9 i had hoped these would do as well but even though they were kept pretty wet they died"
Raccoons haven't dug got up yet
"It's in the ground, seems happy, and raccoons haven't been digging. Won't know till spring if it was a good choice for that location."
Primrose
"I love the pale pink color and would definitely buy this plant again!"
They're blooming already!
"Watered when the arrived and planted next day. They are exactly what I wanted and are perfect."
Love them.
"They were delivered strong and healthy. I planted them around a bird bath. Just what I expected and wanted. They're beautiful."
Holding on for now.
"It's been a very dry time for us, they are holding on, no blooms as of yet, but usually don't expect in the first year of planting."
I will buy more of these for next year x0x
"I ordered 6 of these and 4 of them flourished, 2 withered up but the ones doing well are amazing mixed with other plantings in the same bed. I'll get more."
Beautiful, resilient, aggressive
"This gorgeous, long-flowering spreader creates a mass of pink blooms on the south side of the house in spring just after the iris fade. Reliable, requires little care. Does not like to be transplanted. Be prepared to regularly pull new stems to protect neighboring plants."
Perfect pink flower
"I can't believe people gave this less than 5 stars because it thrives too well. Everyone should do their homework before planting. This plant does exactly as promised, it thrives and spreads. And it is absolutely gorgeous doing it!"
I've had so much success with this primrose
"I've had this primrose from HCG for years and adore them. Really pretty and rather dainty looking, but amazingly sturdy for such a little girl. Re-seeds in the direction of the sun so I'm always happy if it establishes itself here and there such as in a sidewalk crack near the street. Thrives with little to no watering. Very nice complement to anything else it's near, keeps lifting its flowers for all to enjoy. I had major paving work done last spring so I ordered two more, won't take a chance that it can't find a place on it's own."
