Product Description
Reliable winter-spring colour, compact growth & effortless seasonal impact — these hardy primroses are classic garden favourites for cool-season planting.
You can choose from a wide range of single-colour, bicolour & patterned primroses, including soft creams, gentle pinks, crisp whites with contrasting centres, warm peach tones, vibrant orange highlights & striking rim-edged varieties. Each plant forms a neat rosette of fresh green foliage topped with rounded, open blooms that sit just above the leaves, creating a tidy, well-balanced display from late winter into spring. With a naturally compact habit reaching around 15-20 cm tall & wide, primroses are perfect for pots, window boxes, borders, beds, patio containers & mixed seasonal planting schemes.
All plants are supplied as healthy, fresh & fully established 10.5 cm rootballs, professionally grown in premium peat-free compost for strong root development & reliable performance. Larger and more robust than typical plug plants, these primroses arrive either in bud or already flowering, allowing them to settle quickly after planting & continue blooming without interruption. Their early-season flowers also provide an important nectar source for pollinators when few other plants are in bloom.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What's the best compost for my flower bulbs?
We would recommend a compost that contains nutrients that last up to 6 months to promote strong, healthy roots, and often includes a wetting agent to improve water retention and drainage for a vibrant spring display.
Here's the perfect one: Click Here
How can I prevent my bulbs from rotting and ensure they bloom again?
Bulbs rot in wet soil! You must have light, well-drained soil. Work compost or organic matter 8-12 inches deep into the planting bed to ensure rapid drainage and aeration.
Plant most bulbs in full sun or part sun for the long-term energy recharge.
What is the most critical step for getting flowers next year after the current blooms fade?
Do not cut the foliage (leaves) after the flower dies. The green leaves need approximately 8 weeks to yellow and brown naturally. This post-bloom period is when the bulb recharges its energy (carbohydrates) for next year’s flower. Cutting them early causes bloom failure!
How deep should I plant my bulbs?
Plant bulbs roughly three times as deep as the bulb’s height (e.g., a 2-inch tall bulb should be planted 6 inches deep). This depth provides crucial thermal protection.
You'll find the exact specifications on the bulbs page/
Do you ship to Northern Ireland or the EU?
At present, we’re unable to ship to Northern Ireland due to post-Brexit regulations. The additional paperwork and costs involved would make it too expensive for customers.
We hope this situation will change in the near future.
