Primula pulchella
Primula pulchella showcases a charming rosette of oblong leaves, typically sprouting vibrant pink, bell-shaped flowers that boast a distinct, yellow eye at the center. This perennial beauty thrives in the cool, moist highlands, where it nestles in rocky crevices, its colors a stark contrast to the often-muted tones of its Alpine home.

Water: Primula pulchella requires ample watering to sustain its delicate flowers. Water daily, especially in heat, and every other day in warmer climates. Avoid overwatering in containers to prevent root rot; ensure watering when the topsoil feels dry.
Fertilize: For optimal care of primula pulchella, regular mulch use may eliminate the need for fertilizer. However, light applications of organic, water-soluble fertilizer can enhance flower color and extend blooming. If fertilizing, do so monthly in spring and ensure ample watering afterward.
Pruning: Primula pulchella features vibrant blooms and benefits from early to late spring pruning, which removes dead stems and promotes growth. Trim spent flowers to encourage new buds and prevent disease, using clean tools. Avoid heavy pruning during flowering to maintain its ornamental qualities and enhance garden aesthetics.
Propagation: Propagate primula pulchella from cuttings or seeds with high success rates. Seeds should be planted in pots during autumn to early winter, 0.25 in deep. Mulch after planting. For division, dig up primula pulchella, separate roots, trim to 8-10 cm, and transplant in nutrient-rich soil in autumn.
