Gene,
The primula guy that you are, would you know anything about Primula
fedtschenkoi?
This is apparently grown from tubers. Thinking you could lift tubers maybe
it could be grown in areas unfriendly to primula. The Phillips/Rix guide
says dry grassy slopes, central Asia. Primroses do not last long in areas
that are not naturally moist. I have lost all that I have tried, eventually.
Some of these exotics are making their way to us now.
