Primula Florindae giant cowslip. Common names: giant cowslip, Tibetan cowslip, Bog primula,Himalayan cowslip, Tibeton primrose, Florinda primrose. This is one of the most fragrant of all primulas and has a honey scent which will bring the hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to visit. Growing to a massive height of 4 feet tall, this flower blooms in yellow and can have 40 or more stems with massive yellow blooms all over it, making it quite magnificent. The plant was first collected for western horticulture in 1924 by the British botanist Frank Kingdon - Ward and was named after his wife Florinda. This plant grows best in very moist conditions as its home is the margins of rivers. It is cold hardy as long as its roots are not allowed to dry out. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

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!!!!
