Notes
'Oakleaf Yellow Picotee' primrose (Primula vulgaris 'Oakleaf Yellow Picotee') 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 full or part sun and average moisture. Its lobed leaves look like oak leaves. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Star-like flowers attract bees from spring well into summer, and deadheading can encourage more bloom.
Pairs well with Comfrey, Tree peony, and Clematis.
