Pot up plugs into 9cm pots and grow them on in cool, lightly shaded conditions. When primula plants are well grown, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days prior to planting them in their final positions. Plant primula in containers, borders and rock gardens in fertile, reliably moist soil. Drumstick primulas prefer a semi shaded position but will cope in full sun if soil is reliably moist.

Feed and water plants regularly. Deadhead faded primula flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. In autumn, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of plants.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
