Hi Dave P, it's not a Primula but a Verbascum. They like well drained but moist soil and sun. They probably wouldn't appreciate sitting in water or boggy soil. In winter, they disappear to nothing.

Everyone else will probably say im wrong though.

Why would we say that, Badfish? I agree, not a primula but not quite sure what.

I thought Verbascum, I've tried and lost many to winter wet!
So somewhere very well drained to give it half a chance.
