These plants in the family Primulaceae are native to alpine woodlands in parts of southern Europe, western Asia and North Africa near the Mediterranean. a tender plant which will not tolerate frost and blooms in the winter and is therefore grown primarily as a houseplant.

Native Origins: Mediteranian
Hardiness Zone: 4-9

Growth Rate: slow
Maintenance: Prefers loamy, well draining soil that is slightly acidic. Water when the soil feels dry an inch below the surface soil.
