Primula Vulgaris – Common Primrose is a compact plant that bears masses of scented, pale-yellow flowers with a deep yellow heart. These showy blossoms are borne above a rosette of oval bright leaves and will turn your ground in your garden into a carpet of stunning yellow. These plants will grow between 4 – 6 inches tall, and love part shade. They can tolerate full sun if they are in cool summer regions. These self-seeding plants are easy to grow, and grow best in consistently moist, well-drained soil. They will look great in your garden all spring, and an interesting fact is the Latin word primus, which means first, indicates this genus as being one of the first to flower in the spring. These plants are native to southern and western Europe and will attract butterflies and bees to your garden. These would be best for beds and borders, containers, rock gardens, under trees, along paths, and in boggy areas.

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!!!!
