They are terrific. Some years I top dress with compost; sometimes I sprinkle some alfalfa pellets around, but mostly they are on their own. Highly recommend. Here in my central Delaware garden, they bloom later than other primrose - today is April 27 and they are in bud stage, while other primrose have been in full bloom for a week or more.
