Primula Japonica - Postford White

Primula Japonica - Postford White also known as the Japanese Primrose, is a robust, perennial that has attractive whorls of glistening fragrant white flowers that have yellow eyes. Each stout stem can boast up to six whorls that are spaced at intervals, and these arise from a basal rosette of lettuce-like, crinkly leaves that are a pale green. This plant is a recipient of the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society. It has a blooming season that ranges from late Spring to early Summer, thrives best in damp, shady environments, and will grow between 12 – 24 inches tall. These showy flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. It is native to Japan and does well in beds and borders in the garden. Another great feature of this plant is that it is low maintenance, which every busy gardener can appreciate!

Sowing Advice

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. From Plant World Seed. I trust their technique.


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!!!!
