This species features flowers in a range of shades, from white through pink, to red. Dislikes summer drought, and performs best in moist soil. Tolerates wet conditions, beside a stream or pond. This type of Primrose flowers much later than the dwarf forms, the flowers appearing from late spring well into the summer. Excellent for cutting.
