THREE VARIETIES OF PRIMROSE:
• Common Primrose- low growing with flowers growing through center. Has dark “eye” color in center
• Fairy Primrose- tiny flowers on tall stems
• Obonica Primroses- tall flower clusters medium sized flowers
IF YOU ARE GROWING THEM INDOORS:
• Cool temperatures indoors (55-65 degrees)
• They do not like heaters or dry air.
• Keep the soil consistently moist
• Bright light but no direct sun
• A plant light will prolong blooms
WATERING TECHNIQUES:
• Water from below (put water in saucer)
• Water from above by lifting leaves and watering soil directly (trim bottom leaves touching the soils)
• Wet moss and place on soil to create humid environment
MULTIPLING THE FLOWERS:
Primroses grow in clusters that spread. The Easiest and most successful way to multiply primroses are through division. Divide the clusters after they finish blooming like this
STEPS:
1. Remove primrose from pot
2. Divide plant into smaller sections with roots attached
3. Cut top of leaves and trim roots if needed
4. Place in well-draining moist potting soil

OUTDOORS - 6 to 10 weeks depending on weather conditions outdoors
INDOORS - enjoy flowers for 4 weeks and plant them outdoors when the ground thaws for another round of blooms in the spring
HOW SOON WILL ROOTS FORM?
