PRIMROSE BLUE CRESCENDO
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 for best germination rates. Start indoors. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. These seeds require light to germinate. Sow the seeds on surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Do not bury the seeds. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) 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-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-90 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
