Pure Happiness

Primroses may be the ultimate feel-good flowers. Their simplicity, vibrant colors, and inherent charm work magic on the dreariest winter day. All it takes is a single container in a pretty basket to change your outlook. Another option is to plant several primroses in a large container, and place it in a sunny spot that is protected from harsh winds.

 Light: Indirect light with a bit of early morning sun.
 Water: Keep soil moist at all times. If the soil dries out and plants wilt, soak the root balls in saucers of water for about an hour and they will perk up.
 Insider’s tip: Primroses love to be cool. To extend the life of plants, give them a few hours outdoors (if it isn’t below 38 degrees) every day, or put them in an unheated garage at night.
 Expect to pay: $2-$4 for a 4-inch pot.
