Its rounded habit looks like the top of a bouquet whether it is planted in the ground or in a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe large, clean flowers are sterile, so the plant keeps blooming for a long stretch through spring. It grows only 5 to 8 inches tall and is ideal for shade gardens, woodland edges and spring containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlat, rounded flowers about 1.5 inches across have five broad, notched petals in very dark violet blue, with a small yellow eye at the center. The flowers are clustered tightly in a dome over the foliage, like a bouquet. Leaves are oblong, crinkled (rugose), bright green and form a low basal rosette. The plant forms a rounded mound about 5 to 8 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide. At peak bloom the leaves are nearly hidden under a dome of dark violet flowers.\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. Hardy in zones 4-8. Remove faded flowers to keep it tidy, and divide crowded clumps after bloom every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primula vulgaris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark violet-blue with a yellow eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rounded, bouquet-like mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8 in tall × 10–12 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
