Series 1 | Week 1: How To Series of How to Germinate Different Kinds of Flower Seeds - Primula Edition

It's here! The start of our How To Series of How to Germinate Different Kinds of Flower Seeds! 🌱🌸

For Week 1, we are going to start with one of our most popular flower seeds, the Primula. 💐

Primulas can be a little tricky to germinate, so it's crucial to do a little reading & research first, to ensure you have a decent understanding of how to germinate these flower seeds! But that is what we are here for, to do the reading & research for you, so all you have to do is sit back, follow along with this series, and read on! 🤗

So what's in it for these tricky-to-germinate seeds? They boast beautiful blooms, but, how do you get there from just a tiny seed?

🌸To start off, Primulas are mainly perennial plants but are sometimes grown as an annual. In planting zones 3 - 10, Primroses are happiest in cool, humid climates. They have a flowering season that lasts from late winter to summer, depending on the species. Primula flowers have leaves in basal rosettes and have bell-shaped, tubular, or flat flowers that come in a wide array of showy, beautiful colors. The plants are usually low-growing. Primulas are best for rock, woodland, and bog gardens, as well as in mass displays and borders.

🌱Now let's get into the sowing aspect:

Indoors - make sure the seeds are prechilled 8 - 10 weeks before the last frost. (Note that we do keep all of our seeds in refrigerated units, so keep this in mind when you are planning on when to purchase your seeds).

Outdoors - In Fall, planting zones 8 - 10 only

Depth - Surface

🌱Germinating

Time - approx. 10 - 40 days

Requirements - Difficult! Place your seeds in a plastic bag together with some moist growing medium and then place your bag in the refrigerator for around 3 weeks. Then, provide light and keep at a temperature between 60 - 65 degrees F.

** We also HIGHLY recommend to all of our customers to NOT use all of your flower seeds at one time!! That way, if you are not successful the first time around, you will still have seeds left over to try again!
