I planted a variety of primrose last year. I got the plant off the bargain shelf for 25 cents and I do not remember what variety it was. The plant has come back strong, but I have not seen any blooms or buds yet.

I have lots of primrose all around my yard in lots of different colors and they are all blooming. Most of my plants are getting very large and can be divided into a dozen or more each. I have them in pinks, reds, yellows, burgundy, and purples. They've been blooming for several weeks already and show no sign of slowing down. I've saved seed each year and when I set new plants out, they bloom in late summer and fall, then come back strong the next spring. I plan on saving seed again this year. You have to watch the flower stalks closely, and as soon as they turn brown, cut them off and put them in a container to completely dry and the seeds will just fall out. If you don't catch them early enough, look closely next year and you'll find seedlings near the mother plant, as mine do self-seed. I've even had to dig them out of the grass, as the seed fell onto the lawn and the new seedling grew there. I'd be willing to share seed after I gather some.
