But hey, I’m trying to do my part in keeping your eyes fixed on the road ahead, giving you some color to look at, reminding you through plant life, that we in fact don’t live above the Arctic Circle, and that Spring will get here someday soon.
So, here’s
another early bloomer, the Primrose. A Latin word, prima rosa, meaning “first
rose”, but you will never see it at a Rose family reunion, because it is not a
rose.
This European
native grows 4 to 12 inches tall; it likes moist well-drained soils, and would
rather take up residence in partial shade.
It is more
of an evergreen plant, but since it is so short, a dusting of snow can put it
right out of sight; so don’t plan on it offering any “life” to your winter
landscaping.
As you can
see by the picture it comes in many different flower colors; and at a time when
we are wanting to see some color out there. A great plant to plant among the
bigger rocks, or just in front of other plants or hardscapes.
The key is
moisture, do that and they will faithfully proclaim the coming of spring year
after year.
