Primula veris
SUNSET COWSLIP PRIMROSE
SKU: 1165-10
Description
This is a rare color for the Cowslip Primrose, beautiful sunset colors of red, orange and amber!
Probably the easiest primula to grow, Cowslip Primula quickly fill a shady spot with bright, almost-glowing yellow flowers! This primula is extremely hardy, and tolerant of variable soil types. We grow these plants in an uncommon place for primula, in dry sandy shade, and they thrive. We do give them an occasional light watering in periods of drought, though we have never lost any plants, and they come back better and better each season. Plants will gently form colonies if they are allowed to self seed. An excellent plant for difficult shady areas.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 10-14"
Location: Shade or part shade
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Seeds per pack: 10
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.
