Keeping Primula Vialii in containers?

in Plants
I've got 3 pots of vialii that I think are in their 3rd year now. I was hoping to plant them out around my pond in what was supposed to be a wet area but it turns out it drains a bit too well so I'm going back to the drawing board a bit with that one. For now I'm keeping them in pots but short of just standing them in a tray of water permanently is there a better way of keeping them happy? My garden lacks shade so finding a nice damp, shady corner to plant them is tricky.
They're just starting to throw up shoots now after over-wintering in the greenhouse so I need to get them into better housing soon. Is there any specific peat-free compost that works well for keeping them damp?

If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
