Primula capitata, commonly known as the round-headed Himalayan primrose or Asiatic primrose is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae. Its flowers are long, dark purple and tubular, with shallowly lobed petals; they are borne in racemes that form flattened spheres, held on white-mealy stems about 40cm (16 inches) high.
In the wild, Primula capitata is found in moist habitats in alpine areas of Bhutan, Tibet, and Sikkim state in India.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 40cm, 16"
Location: Shade or part shade
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Seeds per packet: 25
Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. Temperature 20-22C (68-72F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
