Primrose, also known as Primula, s a genus of herbaceous perennials in the family Primulaceae. There are over 400 species of primula, which are native to the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in temperate regions of Asia, Europe, and North America.

Primrose is an easy-care plant when grown in the right temperature and sunlight. Most primrose varieties prefer part shade, but some will thrive in full sun. Even though many of these species prefer consistent moisture, they won't tolerate wet soil and will likely rot quickly when they get too wet.

The primrose is distinguished from other species of Primula by its pale yellow (in the nominate subspecies) flowers produced singly on long flower stalks which are covered in rather shaggy hairs.

With choices ranging from soft shades of pink and purple to vibrant yellows and bright crimson reds, you’re sure to find a primrose that will light up your garden. Despite their delicate appearance, primroses love cool temperatures and many varieties are cold hardy, even in areas with harsh winters.
