Product Details

Product Details

Bunches of ruffled very double blooms will surely brighten the spring garden with their cheerful yellow hue. Primula polyanthus Pollyanna 'Sunny Yellow' plants are packed with upward-facing blossoms resembling roses, displayed on sturdy stems that rise above compact dark green foliage. Elongated, slightly hairy leaves have a seersucker texture that attests to their toughness in the garden. These hardy, deer resistant plants bloom for an extended time in shade to part shade throughout the temperate zones and are wonderful companions for a parade of spring bulbs such as Muscari, Chionodoxa, Narcissus, and early Tulips.

The genus Primula includes some of the most endearing flowers of spring and has been a favorite of gardeners for as long as records have been kept. Most prefer peaty soils, lots of moisture, and partial to full shade, and they combine colors and forms in ways that will win your heart. In general, Primroses fare poorly in southern heat and humidity. Our plants are held in cold storage to discourage early bloom, but we are not always successful. These early breaks do not affect future performance in your garden and are not cause for alarm.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Latin Name Pronunciation: prim'yew-la 

Plant all varieties except P. x pubescens in partial shade or shade; P. x pubescens grows best in full sun or partial shade here in Litchfield, CT. In cool coastal climates in the West, all Primroses can grow either in full sun or partial shade. 

P. x bulleesiana will thrive in boggy soil. P. x pubescens demands good drainage and prefers to be kept on the dry side in summer. The other Primroses we offer require moisture-retentive soil that drains well but must not be allowed to dry out.

Slugs may chew holes in the leaves; see "least toxic control" for suggested remedies.
