Primula  Elatior Gold Laced mix

Primula Elatior Gold Laced mix, these rare seed are truly a beautiful enigma. There are over 450 species that most don’t know who their parents are. Maybe that's why they are strongly associated with love. They hail from the moist climates of England, New Zealand and pacific coast. They can be grown in warmer climates in a variety of places as long as they have ample water to satisfy the warmth of the climate. They do well in spotted shade and adequate airflow. This extraordinary flower resembles a pool of brilliant liquid gold with overlapping oval shaped mahogany red petals relaxing in the pool perfectly trimmed in gold. They are as tough as they are beautiful with hearty foliage and are very undemanding. It is definitely a flower that would be a delight in your collection.

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!!!!
