Primroses are at their most beautiful when they are in bloom. But not everywhere their flowers shine with vitality and demonstrate enviable endurance. What characteristics should the location have?
What should be the ideal location for primroses?
The ideal location for primroses is bright but not too sunny, such as partially shaded locations in a northwest to northeast orientation. The subsoil should be nutrient-rich, well-drained, slightly acidic, rich in humus and loose. Moisture at the location is essential for a long flowering period.
Bright but not too sunny
Primroses need a lot of light to grow. But not too much of a good thing! They don't like a location in full sun. Partially shaded locations, for example those facing northwest to northeast, are more suitable. Even in the apartment, primroses should not be placed on a south-facing window sill. There they dry out quickly and the flowers are more likely to wilt due to the high temperatures.

Primroses should be placed in nutrient-rich soil (€12.00 on Amazon) when planting. Other beneficial features of the earth include:
- good drainage
- slightly acidic pH value
- high humus content
