Primula cuneifolia, commonly known as Wedgeleaf Primrose, Wedge-Leaved Primrose, or Alpine Primrose, is a perennial herb that thrives in the alpine tundra and rocky slopes of the Arctic and subarctic regions, including parts of North America and Asia. It typically grows to a modest height and width of 0.3-0.5 feet (0.09-0.2 meters), forming a low-growing clump. This species is characterized by its wedge-shaped leaves and its pink or white flowers, which are showy and bloom in the spring and early summer, providing a splash of color in the garden.

The Wedgeleaf Primrose is valued for its cold hardiness and its ability to add vibrant color to rock gardens, alpine collections, and borders in cooler climates. It is relatively easy to maintain, requiring minimal care once established. Gardeners appreciate its compact size and the charming, bell-shaped flowers that attract pollinators. While it prefers full sun to part shade, it is essential that it is planted in well-draining loam or sandy soil to prevent root rot. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings to mimic its natural alpine conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
