A gently variable pink-petalled primrose with darker, picotee edges. ‘Nature’ is a beautiful early season, semi-evergreen perennial with good winter hardiness providing naturally varied hues to beat the winter blues. Planted in clusters, this primrose creates a sweeping blanket of pastel colour in spring borders but also combines to glamorous effect in containers.
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established. Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
