Primula Vulgaris – Victorian Silver Lace are unique plants that have been grown in Royal gardens for centuries. They produce blooms that are deep brown to black in color with a scalloped silver-white edge and a golden eye. These blooms are fragrant and have stems that are just long enough for them to be used for cut flowers. They like part shade best, in moist well-drained soil. They will look great in your garden during the spring, will grow between 6 – 8 inches tall, 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. They will attract hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to your garden while being resistant to deer and rabbits. These are great for cut flowers, beds, borders, containers, and woodland 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!!!!
