It blooms heavily from early to mid spring over compact, bright green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are sterile, so the plant stays in bloom for a long time. It is fully hardy in the garden, but it is also worth planting in containers and windowsill pots where the scent and double flowers can be enjoyed up close. It prefers shade and steady moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFully double, rose-like flowers about 1.5 inches across are packed with many layered, rounded petals in soft cream to pale butter yellow. The flowers are clustered in a low dome just above the foliage. Leaves are oblong, crinkled (rugose), bright green and semi-evergreen, forming a compact, dense basal rosette. The plant forms a tight mound about 5 to 8 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide. At peak bloom the mound is crowned with creamy double blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrimroses need shade and constant moisture, the opposite of lavender's hot, dry beds, so plant them in a shaded woodland edge, a north-facing bed or spring containers near the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in part to full shade in rich, humus-heavy soil that stays evenly moist, and keep it from drying out, especially in summer.
