Cultivated
· also called drumstick primrose
Drumstick primrose offers early spring nectar and some pollen to honeybees, helping build up colonies after winter; peak bloom occurs in April to May when few other sources are available. It thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and may require division every 3-4 years to maintain vigor; deer may browse it in some areas.
