Terri, I guess that primroses (primrose-cowslip (+) hybrids) would be recognized and used as garden perennials in places with strong seasonality (notably a distinctive spring time).
One of our two 'Paris in Pink'. Think I prefer the deeper colour of our other (second image); plant located in the shade of our cedar hedge.
All our hellebores are still going strong.
Ice N' Roses (White)
Seeing Corydalis.
Don't feel that the Crescendo series has the "delicacy ? " of the heritage/ more traditional primroses/primula but they clearly add colour.
As said, love the blue hyacinths that seem to go so well (colour-wise) with the daffodils.
Frustrating that they can be floppers (with rain and the like). Not that practical to stake them all.
Maybe the older ones, now with less showy heads, are good in this regard.
Still have a few Tulipa praestans 'Unicum' around.
