These long-lived
Family: Primulaceae
Plant Classification: Hardy perennial
Minimum Height: 33 cm
Maximum Height: 38 cm
Dense umbels of light sulphur-yellow flowers bloom from July to Sept over rosettes of toothed, bright green foliage. These long-lived, easy-to-grow plants are natives of the damp regions of the Caucasus Mountains and are very tolerant to sun if they have adequate moisture.
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.
