CANADA POST IS ON STRIKE AGAIN - We have removed Canada Post as a shipping option and are now shipping with UPS AND FEDEX. (They are more expensive and have added preditory premiums while Canada Post is on strike, but they are still moving parcels) All Lettmail-shipped items will still be proccessed and dropped with carrier weekly but will only start to move once mail service resumes. Parcels to PO boxes will be shipped once mail service resumes.
Germination of
Primula auricula
Primrose Mix: Primrose, Primula, Primrose mix
Primula auricula seeds require a period of cold stratification to encourage germination. Start by sowing the seeds in a pot filled with moist, well-draining soil mix. Place the pot in the refrigerator, or in a cool, dark location with a temperature of around 40-45�F. Leave the pot there for 4-6 weeks, checking the soil moisture levels periodically. After the stratification period, move the pot to a bright location with a temperature of around 60�F. Keep the soil slightly moist and germination should occur in approximately 2-3 weeks.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
