How to grow
Choose the right location - Primroses prefer a cool, moist environment, so choose a spot that gets some shade during the day. They also prefer well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter. Sow the seeds - Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and cover them with a light dusting of soil. Water gently, being careful not to disturb the seeds. Provide the right conditions - Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. You can cover the container with plastic wrap or a lid to create a humid environment. Keep the container in a cool place, ideally around 60°F. Transplant the seedlings - Once the seedlings have grown a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or a larger container. Keep them in a cool, shaded location for a few days to help them adjust. Care for your primroses - Water your primroses regularly and fertilize them every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
