Don't think it made much difference either way. What I do is pull off the old tough leaves and leave the new leaves - best of both worlds.They don't get in the way and they still have enough foliage to do whatever they have to do.
Someone mentioned the other day about not seeing bees taking any interest in primroses. I hadn't noticed it before, but they're right. They go for the pulmonaria. But something must be pollinating them or they wouldn't spread. The primroses are all on the sunny side of the garden and avoid the shade.
