Re: Source for Primrose seed?
Hello Pete,
If you are really getting into Primula, you may want to consider joining the
American Primrose Society. There is a web site under that name.
http://americanprimrosesoc.org There you can get all the information on the
society and how to join the on-line discussion group as well. I you have any
problems contact Terry Mitchell at terry@mitchell1234.freeserve.co.uk
As it just so happens, Angela Bradford who owns Barnhaven Primroses in France
is on the discussion list and can be reached by email for her listing of seeds..
which are quite extensive. Bradford@wanadoo.fr
All of the seeds you list are easily obtained with the exception of P.
kiosana. I have not see anything but divisions offered on this Primula. Perhaps
someone else has had better luck than I. I am now out of Primula seeds, but will
have them on my seeds listing at my web site again this coming year I am sure.
Let me know how you do and if you need more information.
