Primula Vialii is a fascinating plant you should add to your garden if you want to add some color. It has unusual spires of tiny pinkish-purple flowers that have red at the top of the spike when in bud. These flowers are borne on stout stems that rise above rosettes of spear-shaped, light green leaves. These rocket shaped spikes are long-lasting and look great when planted in groups. This plant will grow between 12 – 18 inches tall and loves part shade. It can be grown in full sun if it’s in cool summer areas and the soil remains moist. This hardy plant is easy to grow, and wet soil tolerant, and you can mulch it to help maintain the soil moisture and keep the roots cool. It is native to moist mountain areas in China and will bloom from early to mid-summer. These plants will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. They are great for cut flowers, beds, borders, containers, bog gardens, and rock gardens. These plants are also self-seeding and low maintenance, which is always good for the busy gardener.

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!!!!
