Researchers from the University of Sheffield and the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) recently used the climate prediction models to check the tolerance level of different Primula species toward climatic changes. They observed that Primula vulgaris (primrose), species with smaller and simpler flowers are better able to withstand the extreme conditions such as droughts and floods as compared to highly-cultivated garden hybrids. Scientists have done lots of research to produce plants that can tolerate wind but now they need to focus on their capacity to withstand extreme wetting and drying which is becoming more common due to climate change.
