I've sown some seeds for Drumstick Primula about 3 weeks ago, but no
sign of anything yet yet. Do they take a long time to germinate .
Being cheeky now, has anyone get any spare seed just in case they don't
germinate?

Thanks

I'm having a similar problem with a packet of mixed candelabra
primulas. BTW, I believe primula seeds need light to trigger
germination, so should be surface-sown and not covered.

I sowed some drumstick primulas and they came up like mustard & cress, but I
haven't pricked them out yet.
