Do you deadhead primroses?

Do you deadhead primroses? I would like to maintain them if poss before I divide them when flowering has finished

I don’t ...

No, but in a few weeks time I'll pick off the manky leaves leaving the rosette of new leaves to develop.

I do but mine are in tubs not on the ground. Some but not all will continue to flower for weeks if encouraged, then a nice rest over summer.

I often do, because they can look very tatty otherwise, and get a bit manky when it's wet. 
They flower almost all year round here, so it helps keep them going.

I agree if they're in pots, deadhead. Wild primroses in  the ground, it's just not practical.

Fairygirl

I do both. It's not practical in a big space, but they can get really manky here in normal weather conditions. The dry April has helped this year though. 

I divide them  in flower as well. they never even notice. They're virtually indestructible

Many thanks to all your contributions and guidance

I deadhead my primroses and remove their tatty leaves often. And they will always come back pretty.

I don’t deadhead them as they self-seed and I enjoy seeing new ones popping up around the garden
