This plant (I think Dodecatheon has now been put into Primula, worse luck) normally goes dormant by midsummer. If divided this time of year, they should definitely be kept moist and in the shade. The roots are somewhat persistent, so the untimely division might not kill them. In the garden, established plants do well in sun in Hope's area, which has, however, recently experienced a historically hot spell for the season. The strange weather, which we may have to get used to, has affected many plants and particularly caused unseasonal flowering patterns.

They never bloomed since there were to many so I separated them about a month ago. The leaves didnt dieback but did go limp. Should I water the pots ? put in the sun shade?Will they come up next year? > Hope Stanton > N Oregon coast > Sent from my iPhone > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > PBS Forum https://… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
