Benjamin Disraeli was Prime Minister of England from 1874 to 1880 and the primrose1 was his favorite flower. He gave bouquets2 of them to his monarch3, Queen Victoria, who probably not co incidentally, found him quite charming. Buckner Hollingsworth wrote, “England displays a rose on the royal coat of arms, but she carries a primrose in her heart.” England has perfect growing conditions for primroses4, sometimes called cowslips.
They like partial shade and moist, rich soil and go
dormant5 if they are hot and dry. The plant belongs to the genus “Primula” and the leaves form crinkly green rosettes. The flowers, in
luscious6 colors, are held in tight clusters above the leaves. To find varieties that adapt well to your growing conditions, it is best to consult with
knowledgeable7 staff at your local garden center.
I have only one (primrose auricular) that is
perennial8 in my garden in Southern Indiana. But every spring I buy some pots at the grocery store,
seduced9 by their vivid colors. Even though I know they won’t be permanent additions to my garden, I just have to have one on my dining room table and a couple by my front path. Then for a short time, at least, I can pretend to walk down a primrose path.
