    Gorgeous! I love candelabra primroses, and after seeing a fabulous display at my friends, I wintersowed them this year. Now I've got 30 "plugs" growing in the garden.

    This is SO beautiful. We have success with candlelabra primrose along our stream and in the wettest parts of the woodland garden. This encourages me to divide all the more!
