Primrose English Accord Scarlet Red Primula Vulgaris is a semi-evergreen perennial native to Europe and Asia. Easily grown from Primrose English Accord Scarlet seeds, and also commonly known as Common Primrose and Primula Acaulis, this compact, rosette-forming plant features dark green foliage with tongue-shaped leaves and produces scarlet-red flowers. English Primrose provides early spring color to a garden, and its showy, scented flowers attract butterflies and bees.
Primrose English Accord Scarlet Red is a long time favorite for cottage gardens, rock and alpine gardens, and pots. Primrose is a superb border plant for shady locations. Primula Vulgaris seeds can be started directly outdoors, and the established English Primrose grows best in partial shade and rich, organic soil tolerating the average soil easily. The moisture level can be average or moist with good drainage provided.
