Primula Cortusoides hort seed

Description: Primula Cortusoides is an unusual Primrose, that needs to have a rich and evenly moist soil in order to succeed. This plant forms a low rosette of leaves that are a medium green color and bears open heads of star-shaped pink blooms. They have a blooming season that ranges from mid to late Spring, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade however if in full sun, a cool Summer region is preferred, and will grow between 8 – 10 inches tall. This plant is perfect for a moist rock garden or beside a stream or pond in light shade. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. They make great cut flowers, do well in containers, borders, and can be used for edging. These plants may be divided in early Fall every few years if desired. 40+ seed per pack Planting Zone: 3 – 9 Full Sun to Part Shade Height: 8 inches – 10 inches Width: 6 inches – 12 inches Attracts Butterflies and Bees Great for Cut Flowers, Containers, Borders, Edging Deer and Rabbit resistant Origin : from the Urals to China 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 and 15 degrees C. (e.g. a cool greenhouse or northerly window sill) PLEASE NOTE: Temperatures exceeding 15 C can prevent germination, and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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 and Happy Planting!!!!
