Compact trusses of pillar-box red flowers delicately edged with golden yellow, open in early spring. Surrounding each flower is a ring of tiny leaves producing a fascinating bunch of instant posies. Possibly the most elaborate primula you could ever encounter, this new beauty has attributes from all of the top-sellers. Few seeds collected.
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.
