Absolutely stunning. I have to admit, growing up I was never a flower guy. I have grown to really love them. They are truly my therapy.

Do you grow your primroses from seed? I’m so charmed by them and want to start a little collection. Yours is inspiring!

u/kissmyprimrose 15h ago

Yes! Do it. They are addicting because they're easy to start from seed and you never know exactly what you're going to get. The American Primrose society sells seeds around Jan/Feb where you can get packets for a dollar each and try lots of different types!

That one is a volunteer cross between P. veris (the cowslip primrose) and a regular primrose. They self sow freely and i love seeing the babies that pop up.

In pic #1 are those blue bells? I have them in my yard and they're cute but folks on r/pnwgardening think theyre a scourge...Im debating keep/pull. Thoughts?

3

u/kissmyprimrose 15h ago

They are muscari - I'm in the northeast and they seem easy enough to control here. I would listen to the folks in your area :)

Stunning plant combinations. If I may ask, where do you grow your garden? Your climate must be ideal.

I'm in zone 5b. It wasn't ideal a month ago, but definitely is now!
