Acer's Plant of the Month: Primrose
Zone 4-8, Height: 8-15”, Spread: 6-12”
These early spring bloomers prefer light shade and rich, well-drained soil full of humus. Available in a wide range of colors, Primroses multiply each year and may even re-bloom in the fall. Prune off dead leaves, spent blooms and water thoroughly during the summer months.
