Notes
'Oakleaf White' primrose (Primula vulgaris 'Oakleaf White') is a perennial for borders, containers, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun and average moisture. Its lobed leaves look like oak leaves, and white flowers with yellow eyes bloom from spring well into summer. Deer tend to pass it by. Bees visit the blooms, and deadheading can encourage more bloom.
Pairs well with Spiderwort, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Tree peony.
