I've been to Zheduo Shan were the Kevock-seeds were collected, it's cool and moist with Rhododendron brush and peaty soil over slate. Primula tangutica has a similar distribution and habitat, and that one is easy in the garden in acidic soil in a bright woodland setting. They have a tendency to rot off during winter when they get big, so divide it every other year or raise new ones from seed.

Many thanks, guys, for your inputs. 

I didn't spot the growing ones at the Kevock garden unfortunately.  The pot I got has will divide into 3 when the flowering is over.

Just found this topic, seems that the web site in the link above is under construction, they give a suggestion to add "old/" to the intended page, and it works.
