'Husky Appleblossom' ushers in spring with its cheerful, eye-catching flowers showcasing yellow star-like centres radiating to a rich raspberry, before fading to veined pink on the outer margins. With its playful blossom hues, this robust primrose is a delight for winter-weary gardeners anticipating spring's arrival.
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.
