Primula x bulleesiana / Candelabra Primroses 

* Approx 100 small seeds * 

Hardy deciduous perennial 

Candelabra Primroses are particularly striking plants, with tall spikes of flowers in early summer, from June to July.  There are 3-6 whorls of flowers on each stem, which grow 40-60cm in height, and flowers appear in shades of yellow, to red to violet. They look particularly good growing in drifts around the garden. 

Candelabra Primroses grow best in sun to part-shade and moist, well drained, humous rich soils.  They grow well besides streams and around trees with enough moisture in the ground.  They do not like waterlogged soils. 

Sow the seeds in winter to early summer in a tray of seed compost.  Keep at a cool 12-15°C and germination takes 3-4 weeks.  If there is no germination in 4 weeks, move the tray to a fridge for 2-4weeks and outside again for germination.  Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
