Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'City of Bellingham' is a little spring gem with pale pink flowers, with yellow eyes. It belongs to the Juliana group of primroses, and bears 1" wide flowers on individual stalk, in April or May. Culture: Grow in light shade and a fertile well-watered soil. In cool climates, full sun is acceptable if the soil is moist. If too hot and dry, the plants will yellow and go dormant over summer, but usually leaf out again in fall. Best suited to northern climates, it could well be difficult for southern and western gardeners to keep them happy. Propagate by division after flowering.
