How do you propagate mealy primrose?
You can propagate mealy primrose both from a cutting or from seeds. Both are easy to do and come with high success rates. It is recommended to plant your seeds in autumn to early winter in small planting pots. Plant the seeds 6 mm into the soil and cover with a fertilizer, such as vermiculite. Place these pots outside in a covered area until they germinate and water regularly. You can continue to grow these mealy primroses throughout spring and summer and then plant them in the garden at the beginning of autumn. A good tip is to cover the base with a good amount of mulch once planted to help them settle quicker. In their first winter, make sure to cover the plant when the ground starts to freeze to help them climatize.
To propagate this plant through division, carefully dig up your mealy primrose and tease the roots apart. Then gently cut the plants roots apart and cut the roots to around 8 to 10 cm long. This will encourage the plants to establish a hold in the soil. Afterward, plant both of mealy primrose in nutrient-rich soil, lightly pack the soil around the plants and water them both. It is recommended to divide your mealy primrose at the beginning of autumn on a cool day.
