A rare and tiny treasure carrying short scapes of relatively large pinkish-mauve flowers above compact rosettes of smooth, grey-green, farinose leaves. It is a very rare plant in the wild, endemic to Norway and Sweden, where it has been assessed as ‘Near Threatened Criterion’. These seeds have been collected from plants grown in cultivation
Sowing advice:
Primula seeds may be sown at any time onto a loam-based compost, barely cover so that around 50% are still visible. Best germination temperatures are between 10 and 15 degrees C. (e.g. a cool, northerly window sill) PLEASE NOTE: Temperatures exceeding 15 C can prevent germination, and above 20 C expect very little germination as most seeds will go dormant as a protective measure. Germination takes between 3 to 6 weeks, sometimes taking much longer.
