Primula Denticulata – Blue Selection Primrose is a hardy primula nicknamed Drumstick primula. Denticulta is easy to grow and maintain and has solid stems that fill with blooms that are tight and shaped quite round and uniform compared to some primulas. Growing to a height of 12 inches in bloom with a spread of up to 12 inches, these will fill an area with color that guaranties a smile when you see a mass in bloom. Grows great near water, by ponds, streams or lakes, loves to be moist and not dry out. This Denticulata is a deep blue colored flower with a yellow eye that is an easier variety to grow than some of the other primulas. This variety can take a little Sun if it is a Northern area that the Sun is not too brutal. But they do like shade and moisture. It has received the RHS award for Garden of Merit.

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!!!!
