information: "Marsh Primrose" is a small
rosette forming plant. They are perfect for tight areas near the
pond. During late summer "Marsh Primrose" produces
clusters of fragrant funnel shaped... white, yellow or violet
flowers. Plant in partial shade in fertile, moist or boggy soils. It
prefers peat moss rich or acidic soils... but any fertile soil
will do. Primula alpicola will tolerate full sun if the soil is constantly
moist.
