Planting and Growing

Oakleaf Yellow Picotee Primrose will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity extending to 16 inches tall with the flowers | with a spread of 14 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant | individual plants should be spaced approximately 8 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground | not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years. As an evegreen perennial | this plant will typically keep its form and foliage year-round.

This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth | but will die in standing water. This plant should not require much in the way of fertilizing once established | although it may appreciate a shot of general-purpose fertilizer from time to time early in the growing season. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution | and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in both summer and winter to conserve soil moisture and protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division; however | as a cultivated variety | be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
