Brighten your garden when you need it most with hardy Primrose plants (Primula). These delightful low-maintenance perennials create a spectacular display of vibrant colour throughout the darkest winter months, continuing their show through spring and even into summer in cooler climates. Growing to a compact 20cm height, these charming plants thrive despite cold, wet weather and even snow – bringing cheerful blooms when little else dares to flower.

WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE

These are mature, ready-to-plant specimens in trays of 6. Plant them immediately into garden borders, beds, or patio containers for instant impact. With their delicate scent and pollen-rich blooms, they're a magnet for bees and butterflies, making them perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens. Once established, these easy-care perennials practically look after themselves.

GROWING CONDITIONS

Primroses flourish in full sun to partial shade and prefer moist, well-draining soil. They're ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife gardens, and alpine rockeries. For container planting, use a multipurpose peat-free compost enriched with grit or perlite for optimal drainage.

CARE TIPS

Keep your Primroses watered during dry spells, directing water to the plant base rather than the foliage. Regular deadheading extends the flowering period significantly. Ensure good drainage – never allow plants to sit in standing water, which can cause root rot.
