Yellow Primrose Plant

Yellow Primrose Plant

The Yellow Primrose perennial is a delicate yellow-flowered plant native to eastern and central North America. This beauty is unique in that it blooms as the sun is setting, hence its common name of this plant. The petals open visibly in the evening and close with the sunrise, creating a strange phenomenon worth witnessing. The perennial is an eye-catching native found in woodlands, prairies, and disturbed anthropogenic sites. It has a basal rosette of leaves that continue up its thick, hairy stem. Their stems can grow to be up to six feet tall under the right conditions, with flowers starting to bloom in a cone shape for the top six inches. Its foliage has a wild look to it.

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
