Positive Todd_Boland On Dec 6, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

Of the Parryi group primroses, this type species is the largest and easiest to grow. Plants are quite leafy with elongate, smooth, leathery leaves. The flower stems arise to 16" with a relatively large cluster of brilliant magenta flowers. It can tolerate considerable shade and requires an evenly moist soil. It is probably the most widely available North American native primula. They grow throughout the western US in moist alpine meadows, streamsides and wet, stony slopes at an elevation of 2700-4200 m.
