Primula Elatior - Victorian Laced Mix seed

Primula Elatior - Victorian Laced Mix has flowers that range in colors from red, purple, and black-brown, each edged with golden to silvery margins. These hard to find primulas are sought after and loved by those who grow them. The edges add such a dramatic look to the flowers. The Latin word Primus means first, which indicates this important genus as being one of the first to flower in the Spring. It has a blooming season that ranges from April to May, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade in moist, well-draining soil, and will grow up to 12 inches tall. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These do well in containers, rock gardens, and can also be used as a groundcover.

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!!!!
