Bee's primrose
Primula beesiana
Overview
Bee's Primrose (Primula beesiana) is a small perennial plant, native to the Himalayas. It has short mounds of bright green rounded leaves, with clusters of fragrant small yellow flowers. In early summer, they are followed by small oval-shaped seed capsules. Bee's Primrose prefers partial shade and well-draining, moist soils, and once established, will bloom every year. Propagate by division or seed, and be sure to deadhead the spent blossoms to encourage a second spring flush. This plant is a delightful addition to the rock garden or woodland setting.
