I have some primroses that have done OK, but the ones you buy as hybrids tend to get weaker until they nearly disappear. The Wanda Hybrids here are supposed to be longer lived. The taller polyanthus can do well, the older types much better than hybrids. I have a few edging a bed that come back really robustly, dry years can knock them back a bit. They are in red and pink shades, but a bit later flowering. I took a pic today of one I have in a pot in a shady place, it was a really large purple flower and has returned, the slugs eat the flowers. It has seeded in the pot and the violet one is a seedling. If I divide it and give it good treatment it might replenish itself. A bit tatty, but flowers! Taken today
