Primula Waltonii

Primula Waltonii is a beautiful, rare plant that is beautiful, hardy, and fragrant. It can be found high in the Himalayan mountains, up to 19,000 feet to be exact! The flowers are sweetly perfumed with blooms that are a pink-wine color, that are flared and funnel-shaped. These flowers are borne in umbels on long slender stalks, which are above low clumps of shiny leaves that are a blue-green color. These plants can do just as well at sea level if they are given some shade and moisture. These will look great in your garden during the spring, and an interesting fact about this plant is the Latin word primus, which means first, indicates this genus as being one of the first to flower in the spring. These plants will grow between 12 – 16 inches tall, love part shade, and moist well-drained soil. What’s great about these plants is that they are resistant to deer and rabbits and will do best in shady areas of your garden and in rock gardens.

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!!!!
