Primula Malacoides – Pink produces sweet little pink flowers in the earliest of Spring. What’s interesting about this plant is that dating all the way back to the early 1900s, Primula Malacoides have been a long-time favorite container plant. They are easily grown indoors and have a blooming season that lasts from late Winter to early Spring. These plants establish easily from flower seeds. Another great feature of this plant is that it will not only do well in your garden, but it can also be a houseplant! It will bloom from December to March as long as the spent flowers are clipped to help promote a longer bloom time. They grow best in partial shade in moist, well-draining soil, and will grow between 8 – 10 inches tall. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They do well in containers and borders in the garden.

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!!!!
