Cultural information: Fairy Primrose can be kept as an indoor flowering house plant or grown outdoors in beds or containers as an annual. They are not winter hardy in Colorado... but could be moved indoors to a bright location before first frost. 

Indoors place your Fairy Primrose in any well lit location. Keep the soil moist allowing the surface to dry to touch between waterings. There is no need to fertilize the Fairy Primrose plant while it is flowering. Plants purchased as flowering house plants are generally discarded after its finished flowering.
