Primula Acaulis S1 - Accord Blue is a slightly fragrant primrose that has 1-inch pure deep blue flowers filling the plant in blooming season. You want to provide shade for primulas as they do not like much Sun and will not perform well, unless you are in cooler areas with less brute Sun. Great for potted plants, edging, borders, rock garden, walkways, and window boxes and also capable of being a houseplant as well. Acaulis comes in several colors, and I also have the red and blue primula acaulis. One of the first flowers to bloom in Spring, bringing the Butterflies to visit as well as the Bees.

Sowing Advice from a great English Nursery
Primula seeds may be sown in good light conditions at any time onto a loam-based compost, barely cover so that around 50% are still visible. We never use artificial heat, primulas are COOL germinators! As a rule best temperatures are usually between 10 and 15 degrees C. (e.g. a cool greenhouse or northerly window sill) PLEASE NOTE: Temperatures exceeding 15 C can prevent germination, and above 20 C expect very little germination as seeds can go dormant as a protective measure. Germination can take up to 6 weeks, but sometimes takes much longer.
I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
