Borne in profusion in early summer and in lesser abundance from midsummer to fall, the flowers contrast nicely with the divided gray-green leaves. The stems of this shrub develop modestly attractive peeling bark with age.
This extremely cold-hardy plant is adapted to average to poor sandy or gravelly soils....

These polyanthus hybrids are derived from crosses between the three European species, Primula veris, Primula vulgaris and Primula elatior. While technically semi-evergreen perennials, they are often grown and discarded as bedding annuals, though they are quite easy to winter over if given the right growing conditions.
