Primula elatior 'Large Flowered Mixed' / 'Choice Mixed'

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first give 2-4 weeks of warmth (18-22°C), then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature again, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; in that case, simply let it overwinter, and germination will occur in spring.
