The aptly named 'Rose Edge' evokes dainty rose bouquets with its clusters of frilly pink blooms. This semi-evergreen perennial primrose forms dark green foliage rosettes from which upright stems emerge, carrying the delicate lightly scented double flowers. With its prolonged blooms, this primula offers graceful early season colour for pots and garden beds, and can also be used as a long-lasting house plant for a sunny windowsill.
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.
