Primula 'Zebra Blue'

(Mature Size: 6"T x 8"W) (NEW For 2027!) Primrose ‘Zebra Blue’ features striking white petals streaked with violet-blue and accented by bright yellow centers. Its large, slightly fragrant flowers appear from mid-spring to early summer and attract pollinators.If conditions are favorable, they may bloom again in the fall. The plant is well suited to woodland borders, shaded paths, containers, and garden beds. Compact clumps grow about 6 inches tall and 8 inches wide, with flower clusters held just above the foliage. Soil: Plant in moist, well-drained soil rich in humus and organic matter, such as compost and leaf mold. Free drainage is essential because waterlogged soil can cause root rot. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist and the roots cool. Established plants tolerate brief dry periods but do not thrive in chronically dry conditions. Light: Provide bright or partial shade, morning sun with afternoon shade, or only a few hours of direct sunlight. Deciduous shade is preferable to evergreen shade because it allows the plants to benefit from winter sun. Temperature: These frost-hardy primroses tolerate cold weather, but harsh sun and heat may cause the leaves to wilt. For a colorful container, pair ‘Zebra Blue’ with a small yellow hosta, such as ‘Curly Fries’ or ‘Wiggles and Squiggles,’ and an orange Heuchera. Place the container in bright sun during spring, then move it to a shadier location as temperatures rise. Plants will go dormant in hot, dry summer weather unless they are kept well-watered. Though they are fully hardy in the North, primroses need protective insulation such as snow cover in the late winter months so they are not lost to late hard freezes. Hardy to zones 4-8. What's My Zone? Color: Violet and White Striped Flowers in Spring  Size: 6 inches tall by 8 inches wide Type: Hosta Companion Plant Product Sizes: XL 65mm Elle Plug
