watering
When it comes to watering Primrose (Primula vulgaris 'Danessa Blue'), make sure to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Aim for watering about 1-inch a week. Watering should be done in the mornings, so the soil has time to dry out before nighttime. If the soil feels dry below your first knuckle, it is time to water. Make sure to water from the base of the plant, not from above the foliage, in order to avoid fungal diseases. If possible, water with rainwater or softened water.
sunlight
Primroses (Primula vulgaris 'Danessa Blue') require indirect sunlight for 4-6 hours a day in order to thrive. Direct sunlight is not recommended, as too much exposure to the sun can burn and dry out this species of primrose. For best results, place the plant in a location that receives bright, indirect sunlight, such as in a west or south-facing windowsill. Allowing the primrose to receive some morning light is beneficial as it will help to encourage blooming.
pruning
Primula vulgaris 'Danessa Blue' should be pruned in early spring when the new growth emerges. Pruning should be done by cutting the stems back to just above eye level. This helps to promote healthy, vigorous growth and encourages bushier, denser growth of flowering stems. In addition, unwanted or damaged stems can be removed and stems that have become too tall can be cut back. After pruning, mulch should be added around the primrose to help it retain moisture and suppress weeds.
