I'd be careful of primula's in full sun - not all of them like. If the soil is very wet clay you might want to try digging very large holes when you plant out and filling with a better mix of compost. Good luck anyway

If you have an empty bed, why not hire a rotavator and mix with shingle and top soil? Then you can plant what you like in future.
