Top primrose is a delicate perennial herb sporting a rosette of basal, simple leaves that are elongated and covered with glandular hairs. Its standout flowers, which blossom from winter to early spring, sit atop long, leafless stems and are characterized by a 5-part, funnel-like shape in pale lilac or purple with a striking yellow center. Each bloom's optimal environment is cool with access to indirect sunlight. The plant stands out indoors during the colder months when most others are dormant. Post-blooming, a cool resting period is recommended to promote future flowering seasons. For soil, a peat-based mixture is most conducive to top primrose's growth.
