The fragrant, shell-pink blooms of this primrose somewhat resemble a buttercup, and are the star of the Texas wildflower group. Once established, these yellow-throated gems form great blankets of shimmering pink blooms, reseeding themselves to bring you beauty for years to come. This star of the primroses was a favorite of Lady Bird Johnson, and are a part of much of her writings. Beautiful used as a naturalizing ground cover!
