Primula marginata, from a wild collection and supplied by Ardfearn.

Quite a 'flouncy' flower Matt, I like it. It prompted me to have a look at Ardfearn's Web Site but it seems to have disappeared.

You could provided you keep them well watered.

I'd also cut back the foliage savagely at the time of splitting (everything off, about two inches above groundlevel, with a pair of scissors).
Life's easier if you plant them back in the ground (away from the self sown seedlings) rather than use pots.
Frost penetrates the rootball if they're in pots (and they die in bad winters);you also avoid serious problems with vine weevil, botrytis and red spider mite, if they are planted back in the open garden.
I've found, atleast here, that vine weevil treatment for plants in the open garden, isn't needed.
