wet meadows and the sides of streams in Yunnan and Burma
Family: Primulaceae
Plant Classification: Hardy perennial
Minimum Height: 60 cm
Maximum Height: 90 cm
Rather resembling Primula beesiana, this plant opens its fuchsia-coloured flowers on strong stems that can be up to nearly 3 feet tall. It prefers moist to even wet soil for extreme growth and is native to high, wet meadows and the sides of streams in Yunnan and Burma.
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.
