Are they getting more shade than they used to? Are they more crowded? The primula genus is vast, and some kinds need to be divided regularly. Do you know what kind of primrose it is?

One has survived over several years and the leaves are beautiful and healthy. For some reason, the plant stopped blooming. Is there something I can add to the soil to get my beautiful color back?

We've had hardly any this winter, but rain and fog and gales instead. So even if the crocusses and primroses in my garden are already blooming, they look very sorry most of the time.

Not until March. I haven't tried digging up the snow to peak, but I have other years. At this point, March is not that far away, but those of us in the throes of WWNE can hardly believe it. eliz is right. Not until March.

But, primroses! They are beautiful. I have had no luck with them as houseplants whatsoever. But I also have to say that sitting by the gas fire and enjoying my houseplants and storebought flowers is a pretty good remedy for WWNE.
