It’s not rocket science for you to plant primroses, so pick up a trowel because if you can’t grow these, you really can’t grow anything
So many of us argue that we’re not cut out to be gardeners. Some of us even say that we couldn’t grow a weed, let alone a flower! But that’s not true. Anyone can become a gardener with a little practice – and it’s a far better way to spend your time than endless scrolling.
Take the primrose as an example. You’d have to be actively trying to kill this flower to mess this up, or at least that’s what my Gramp says.
Primroses often grow between December and May each year. As perennial plants, they are low maintenance and don’t require constant attention and sweet talking to survive. They’re also able to survive difficult weather conditions like frost, which makes them the perfect plant for a miserable British garden.
So, why not give planting these flowers a try? You can brighten up your garden and give yourself a nice space to enjoy year after year! Here is a fool-free guide so you can plant primroses like a pro.
Before you begin, it’s important for you to find the right spot for your new little flowery friends. Primroses prefer locations that are partially shaded and away from direct sunlight.
They also prefer to be planted in damp soil that is full of organic matter, such as compost.
When you’ve found the right place, get your fingers grubby and dig holes that are the same size as the roots of your plants. Then, and this is a really crucial step here so listen closely, gently remove each plant from their pot by pulling the sturdiest stems.
Damaging any flowers or buds will prevent the plant from growing, leaving you feeling like a fool; and we wouldn’t want that, would we?
Once planted, make sure you clean up the soil around the plants. You won’t need to water them unless the top inch looks dry.
If they do need water, make sure you don’t overwater them because this may kill them (SHOCKER: they might be tough, but the poor sods might die if you drown them). You will know when to stop watering the plants as water will pool around them instead of being absorbed.
