Primula acaulis 'Scarlet Primrose'

I bought some of these for my planter. The flowers are pretty, but they're overpowered by the huge leaves. I'm always fussing with them instead of the flowers. Anyone else feel this way?

RE: Primula acaulis 'Scarlet Primrose'

I'm very fond of primula and see them as one of the most useful and engaging spring plants in our mixed perennial beds.

Not sure re leaves, but I do feel that our Primula vulgaris (= P. acaulis) are a bit disproportioned. To me, that's related to not having a stem (acaulis = stemless).

Personally, I find our Polyantha hybrids more attractive.
