Description

A punchy northern primrose, with lilac-pink flowers atop long slender stems reaching 8 to 10 inches tall. This gorgeous variety hails from Siberia and northern Japan and can be planted in full sun. This clumping perennial will fill out garden space beautifully; it looks stunning when planted en masse! The cold-hardy plants will germinate in cold and cool temperatures. Do not allow seeds to exceed 65 F as they will not sprout.

Growing Tips: Perennial or biennial. Cold stratify 2-4 weeks, then sow indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Barely cover, as light aids germination. Transplant outdoors after last spring frost. Often self sows.
