Primula kisoana

Overview

Hardy primrose (Primula kisoana) is a perennial grown for its flowers, which are a bright yellow. It's an easy to care for plant that thrives in moist soils in partial shade, although it can survive in sunnier locations with enough water. It produces vibrant flowers in late spring with large, light green leaves that are highly ornamental. It can spread up to 15-30 cm across and is relatively drought tolerant, although it won't flower as well in dry conditions. Hardy primrose is a great choice for rock gardens and sunny borders, adding colour and structure to your garden with minimal effort.
