Primula / Re: Primula 2023

My thanks to the person who donated seed of Primula reidii var. williamsii to The Meconopsis Group seed exchange, circulated as 21/163. Ours was sown on 09/02/2022 and the single plant raised is in flower now. It has exquisite fragrance.
Is it possible to self-pollinate a single thrum plant and obtain seed? Does anyone nearby have a pin plant for matchmaking? Is there any chance of it being perennial?
Any helpful suggestions about perpetuating this plant would be gratefully received!

Our single Primula reidii var. williamsii set seed which has now germinated and the original plant is in flower again; so it is self-fertile and perennial

Neither have I, but I will now, and will see if I get better flowers next year.
I wonder also if young plants, grown from seed, do not produce their best flowers until the plants are more mature?

Stefan, do you think feeding the plants would have the same effect as moving to richer soil?

Worth a try, I have never fed my peonies.
