Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Easy to grow, this lively little perennial makes us smile! 18-24” clumps of blue green, dissected, ferny foliage are the perfect backdrop for the clustered primrose yellow, purple-brown tipped flowers April-May. Short lived but a dependable reseeder, bound to be a long term companion in your garden. Sun (in the north) to part shade (south), most any soil, moisture during spring growth and flowering period.
