Primula Flower Seeds

Primrose flowers bloom in early spring, offering a variety of form, size, and color. They are suitable for use in garden beds and borders as well as in containers, or for naturalizing areas of the lawn. In fact, when given the proper growing conditions, these vigorous plants will multiply each year, adding stunning colors to the landscape. Blooming often lasts throughout summer and in some areas, they will continue to delight the fall season with their outstanding colors. Most primrose flowers seen in gardens are Polyanthus hybrids, which range in color from white, cream and yellow to orange, red and pink. There are also purple and blue primrose flowers. These perennial plants prefer damp, woodland-like conditions.

Sow Primrose seeds in starter trays using a "peaty" potting mix. These seeds need light for germination, so barely cover with peat moss. For December and January blooms, sow in June and July. Keep seeds moist until (and after) germination Fairy Primroses do not like to dry out. In warm conditions, mist spray daily and stand the pot on moist pebbles. Begin to feed when the flower stalks start to develop, and continue to feed every 2 weeks until flowering has finished. Primula Malacoides care includes clipping the spent flowers to prolong bloom time.
