    Caring For Primrose

    Published by Pam Kessler | 246 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 13 Comments

    Every January, after the Christmas decor is tucked away, I sit here and stare at my computer. Not sure exactly what I'm supposed to write about. It seems like all the fall and holiday posts suck the life out of me (in a good way) and then after all that hoopla is over I can't remember what I actually do blog about.

    And then I was at the grocery store yesterday and ran across a primrose plant, (Primula).

    A pink primrose in a vintage stoneware mixing bowl - also has DIY tips on growing primroses (Primula) indoors.

    My kitchen table was looking a little bare and I wanted a pop of color in the house, so it was the perfect happy little plant to get me out of my post-holiday funk.

    Primrose is relatively inexpensive around here. I believe I paid $2.99 for it. And they really are pretty easy to care for.

    Here are some of the other colors available for primrose.

    Decorating with flowers is a pretty way to add farmhouse decor to your home.Use repurposed items as planters and vases for that Fixer Upper farmhouse look.

    How To Care For Primrose

    • Just keep them in a cool area with bright, indirect light
    • And keep them moist (hate that word)
    • Think window ledge (cool) of a sunny window (bright light) that has sheer curtains (takes care of the indirect part). If you have none of those, then a kitchen table will do just fine.

    That's about it. Pretty painless and carefree.

    And a great little plant to get you through the winter months with a little color!

      Hi Pam,
      Love the primroses. Looks like Spring on your table. Ohhhhh wishing Spring was closer than it is. Lots of snow filled days and bitter cold for us too. At least the sun is out today. I am redoing my dining room and that is leading to small change ups in other rooms too. Hoping that will keep me sane during these cold dreary months. You will find you wonderful creative Mojo I know and we will be seeing your great posts. Stay warm.

      For that price I'd be thankful just to enjoy them until they do die!

      A nice splash of color. I'm in a world of white with this latest snow storm. I think I have four layers on in my office today. Stay cozy! Although a trip to the thrift store or an estate sale would be worth bundling up for.

      I loved reading about and seeing your primrose! I use these to brighten my winter days too. However, you started me thinking on non-holiday wintery themes...here are some...sleds, skiing, toboggans, snowballs, snowforts. Ice fishing. Moose, penguins, snowshoe rabbits, polar bears. Scarves, mittens, gloves, snugglies. Frost on windowpanes, which homes rarely have anymore. Jack Frost. Hot chocolate, popcorn, homebaked breads. Stews and chili and veggie soup. Just to name a few...I tried to answer this earlier and it disappeared with my better ideas...grinning...however, I do go buy primroses myself to hold back the effects of all this cold!

      My tables are bare now that I've packed away all my Christmas decorations, and maybe I need a primrose to brighten up a few spots around my house, too. Or I could just copy your pretty photo and put it in a frame. :o)

      I have never tried having primroses, but now maybe I will. They always look so pretty in the store. I could use a touch of spring around here.

      I can definitely relate. I have had the after-Christmas "blahs" many a time.
