Sunlight:
Hardiness Zone: (annual) Group/Class: Ladybird Series Brand: Proven Winners Description: A mounded perennial with trailing tendencies that blooms profusely throughout the season; masses of yellow cup shaped blooms fade to peach-pink tones; drought tolerant once established; an excellent choice for gardens, containers and borders Ornamental Features Ladybird® Lemonade Texas Primrose has masses of beautiful lightly-scented yellow cup-shaped flowers at the ends of the stems from early spring to late summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its small narrow leaves remain green in colour throughout the year. Landscape Attributes Ladybird® Lemonade Texas Primrose is an herbaceous annual with a mounded form. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. It is a good choice for attracting birds, bees and butterflies to your yard. It has no significant negative characteristics. Ladybird® Lemonade Texas Primrose is recommended for the following landscape applications;
Planting & Growing Ladybird® Lemonade Texas Primrose will grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 20 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 12 inches apart. Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat. This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for alkaline soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid. Ladybird® Lemonade Texas Primrose is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the thriller plants stand out. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.
