Flowering period Late Spring - early Summer
Height 18-24in/45-60cm
Light preference Full sun/Part shade

Sowing and/or growing instructions
The most important thing to remember when growing primula seeds is that the temperature must not be too high, as this can inhibit germination. Aim for 50-60F/10-15C. Sow any time between autumn and spring into a good quality, most compost, barely covering (if some seeds are still visible, that's fine). Germination can be slow and erratic, and can sometimes take months.
