When can i plant out primroses that i just brought from garden centre?

You can do it now. Primroses (primulas) come up year after year and are used to chilly weather.

When can i plant out primroses that i just brought from garden centre?
you can plant them out now , primroses and primulas are very hardy in my garden they stay out all the time summer and winter (UK) they never seem to worry about frost or snow every spring when I see that they are getting bigger I take a sharp knife cut them in half and then I have another plant they just keep going.


they dont need any special treatment just enjoy them.
Reply:If they have been grown in colder temperatures, that is if they have been hardened off, they can go out now.......assuming your garden isn't ice or buried under snow. If so, keep the plant in a sunny window, cool temperatures!! and plant out when the weather isn't as extreme.
Reply:You can plant now. It is a good idea to lift then out of where you plant in winter/spring and place them in a different spot for the summer [in the shade] Then next Autumn plant them back again and they will flower again for you. If they like your soil and conditions they will last for years. Good luck
Reply:Yes, now, if you're in UK, though it'd be best to protect them until all risk of frost has passed. For future reference, it's dead easy just to get a packet of seed and random sow it. Once established they self-seed beautifully.
Reply:if the garden centre is selling a plant now, you can plant it now.


PS most plants come with a label that has the instructions written on
Reply:What is your elevation? I'm at 3000 ft and we don't plant in any month that has an "R" in it.





My store is also selling Primroses, I have them in the house and will plant later
Reply:Now should be fine if you've just bought them. I'd listen to the weather reports to make sure your area is not in for a frost. If so, make sure you protect the plants from freezing.
