Primula Alpicola is a hardy plant that originates from the high mountains of Tibet, This primula is a soft bluish lilac and very fragrant and has white-mealy stems that produce umbels of 6 – 12 tubular funnel- shaped, pendent bell-like flowers, that range in colors from yellow, white, or violet with white mealyeyes. These flowers are self-seeding and can grow up to 20 inches. They are best when planted in groupings to produce a carpet of colored blooms that will smell like sweet perfume to you and the pollinators. They will draw  They do best in part shade, with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. An interesting fact about this plant is the Latin word primus, which means first, indicates this important genus as being one of the first to flower in the spring. This plant will do best in shady areas of your garden, in borders, and in bog gardens. These are resistant to deer and rabbits, which is always a good thing. They also have very showy flowers and are low maintenance. Butterflies and Bees will frequent your garden to see what smells so good.

 Sowing Advice from a great English Nursery
 
Primula seeds may be sown in good light conditions at any time onto a loam-based compost, barely cover so that around 50% are still visible. We never use artificial heat, primulas are COOL germinators! As a rule best temperatures are usually between 10 and 15 degrees C. (e.g. a cool greenhouse or northerly window sill) PLEASE NOTE: Temperatures exceeding 15 C can prevent germination, and above 20 C expect very little germination as seeds can go dormant as a protective measure. Germination can take up to 6 weeks, but sometimes takes much longer.
                                 
I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
