Sow in moist medium and keep at room temp for 3 weeks then move to the fridge
for five weeks, this should do it for most of the different Primula. Some do
not need as long in the fridge and a few respond better to darkness, so make
sure the seeds are covered lightly with medium.
Germination might be erratic over a few weeks. Grow plants cool, not above F
70. Soil temps, preferable around F. 50
That is the best I can help you with. Maybe someone with more experience can
help you if you have the type of Primula you are starting.
