Primula eliator
SKU: 1934-005
Description
One of the first flowers to bloom in spring! These plants produce stunning deep-blue flowers that hold their colour throughout spring. The plants will form a large clump over time. Plant under or near deciduous where they will receive sun in early spring, and shade in summer once they leaves fill out. This plant has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit (A.G.M.) from the Royal Horticultural Society.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 30cm, 12"
Location: Shade or part shade
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Seeds per pack: 5
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature 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 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination is in 14-60 days after the warming period. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
