Primroses

Good morning, all!

Although this list is labeled "PRIMROSE" I can't recall seeing Primula
discussed.  Can anyone suggest good species or hybrids of Primula to grow
in semi-neglect in my new shade garden under some medium-large trees?  Here
in the center of Indiana, a spell of summer drought is becoming the normal
state of affairs.  We have had about 3 weeks of snow cover so far this
winter, probably as much as we ever get.

I have seed from several suppliers of alpines seeds.  These are all in
stratification for now; I think I must have ordered them almost blind.  In
pots in the fridge or buried under snow:  Primula sieboldii, PP. parryi,
xanthobasis, and hirsuta.  One species was a gift, the rest ordered.
Comments would be welcome!

This is USDA zone 5, rainfall averages ca 35 - 40 inches but less in the
past few years, seasonal summer dry periods are frequent.
