Bird-eye primrose
Primula farinosa
Bird-eye primrose thrives in cool, moist conditions with partial shade, making it ideal for rock gardens or alpine borders. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, and avoid hot, dry environments. Apply a light mulch in winter to protect the shallow roots from frost.
