Is this inside or out.  Primroses/primulas are rather fickle.  Rubbing the seeds between your fingers and then sow them can help.  I have an idea that the seeds are covered with some kind of inhibitor.   Cow slips like it where the travellers tether their horses.   There are yellow pools of colour dotted around the place , so I would suggest weeing on them.
