industry for their highly decorative flowers and long blooming season. For several decades, the most popular commercial species was the bedding plant impatiens ( Impatiens walleriana ); however, the wholesale value dropped from $133 million in 2009 to $91
Traditionally cultivated in China, primrose ( Primula sp.) is popular for its early spring blooming in December through April. Although some species have medicinal uses, most of them are being bred and cultivated as ornamental plants, including
