Primula pulverulenta AGM | ||||||||||||
Mealy primrose, Candelabra primula | ||||||||||||

Whorls of pink or soft red flowers clothe erect stems, at the base of which are rosettes of toothed leaves. This primula can grow to 2 feet high, but will usually be a little shorter. | ||||||||||||
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. |
