The bright, sunny yellow flowers of the Ladybird™ Sunglow Texas Primrose will brighten up any bed or planter. The bell-shaped flowers adorn the plant in the spring and summer and complement the wispy green foliage. This perennial plant is native to North America and thrives in USDA growing zones 8, 9, and 10. Also known as Calylophus, this plant is low maintenance, and once established, it will do very well with minimal care.
This mounding trailing plant prefers warm, dry environments, and it is a great choice for borders, edging, landscape, and mass plantings. Add the Ladybird™ Sunglow Texas Primrose to containers or hanging baskets, and the flowers will cascade over the sides with trailing stems reaching up to 12 inches in length. This plant attracts bees, birds, and butterflies, but it is deer-resistant, so it is an excellent option for areas with a large deer population.
Ladybird Sunglow Texas Primrose Plant Care
Primrose thrives with lots of sunlight, and the Ladybird™ Sunglow Texas variety needs at least 6 hours of sunlight exposure each day to bloom and look its best. This plant also likes to dry out, and established plants may not need to be watered unless there is a drought or extended dry period. Wait until the top several inches of the soil are dry before watering container plants. Use well-draining soil with a pH of 6.6-8.5. Feed the plant in the spring and partway through the growing season to encourage new growth.
Keeping with its low maintenance reputation, this plant does not require much, if any, pruning. Spent flowers usually fall away, but you can remove any that have yet to fall off. If the plant starts to look overgrown, you can trim back about ⅓ of the growth to clean up the look. Feed the plant after pruning to encourage more growth.
Ladybird Sunglow Texas Primrose Plant Spacing
Space plants about 8 to 12 inches apart when planting. These mounding trailing plants can grow 4 to 8 inches in height and reach about 12 to 20 inches out from the center. A 12-inch container can comfortably fit about 2 to 3 plants.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
