planting elsewhere ?




Perfectly okay, but plant in shade if you can and keep them
well-watered. It is worth knowing that primulas in general grow in
cycles: root growth first, then top growth ... root growth, top growth.
I mention this because your primroses may collapse when first planted,
simply because they're growing below ground to start with.
