Primula Sinopurpurea Seed

Primula Sinopurpurea is an unusual form of Primula due to the shape of the leaves, which are much longer & pointed than most Primula. This Tibetan treasure is a very odd soft purplish mauve colored petals while the center is black & has a white ring dividing the mauve & the black, which gives it a most unusual coloring. Great when planted in groupings & in pots as well. Just keep out of Sun & enjoy the colorful spread they will provide. 40+ seed per pack Planting Zone: 4 - 8 Full Shade does not like heat or Sun Height: 12 - 20 inches with Blooms Width: 12 inches - 24 inches Fragrant Attracts: Butterflies & Bees Resistant to Deer & Rabbit Origin:Yunnan, Szechuan, Gansu, Tibet Sowing Advice from a great English Nursery Primula seeds may be sown in good light conditions at any time onto a loam-based compost, barely cover so that around 50% are still visible. We never use artificial heat, primulas are COOL germinators! As a rule best temperatures are usually between 10 & 15 degrees C. (e.g. a cool greenhouse or northerly window sill) PLEASE NOTE: Temperatures exceeding 15 C can prevent germination, & above 20 C expect very little germination as seeds can go dormant as a protective measure. Germination can take up to 6 weeks, but sometimes takes much longer. I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised & cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine,Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination & not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening & you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right! SEED GERMINATION TIP ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME. DON’T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS in A BARREL. Good Luck & Happy Planting Primula Sinopurpurea Seed
