I have grown a batch of denticulata from seed, too.  They are fine until the
dry spells of July and August.  I may have 2 or 3 alive just now.  I can say
denticulata is hardy in zone 4 and blooms very early. It is safe from frosts
but probably wants a moist home not available on a mountainside.

It may be primula not only want but rather require moist growing conditions.
