We have collected all of the indistinct pink forms of this primula from our gardens and mixed them together. You will therefore see all shades when they flower, ranging from almost white to deepest shocking-pink! This is therefore a very generous packet of seed.
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.
