About this plant

Supernova primrose is a vibrant spring bloomer that flourishes in part to full shade with consistently moist, organic-rich soil. Mixed brightly colored blooms in bold shades appear in early to mid-spring, creating eye-catching displays above compact rosettes of foliage. This selection is particularly floriferous and delivers long-lasting color in shaded beds and containers. Pair with spring bulbs and ferns for a layered woodland effect.
