This hardy, long-lived plant will become enormous in rich moist soil
Family: Primulaceae
Plant Classification: Hardy perennial
Maximum Height: 60 cm
This hardy, long-lived plant will become enormous in rich moist soil, producing yellow-eyed ivory white flowers on thick, strong stems, and is almost certainly the the most impressive of all of the tall white primulas.
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.
*The perfect choice for a woodland garden, ‘Postford White’ thrives in moist, acid to neutral soil in partial shade. It is extremely tolerant of wet, heavy soils so will thrive in bog gardens or around pond edges. Primula ‘Postford White’ is known for attracting bees.
