We're delighted to have these cheerful primlets back in for the 2026 season and don't they look fantastic in the classic terracotta pots and saucers?
Think spring, think primulas, but these bushy double variety of primroses or Primlets are a cut above the rest. Grown by one of our fabulous British partner nurseries, these are really bushy plants, delivered in bloom as pictured but with many, many more buds and flowers to come.
Equally at home in a cool room or outside in a sheltered spot, these more unusual primula crosses are available in a range of colours including blue, pink, yellow, dark red, orange and white. Let us know you preference in the box below or leave it to us to choose our favourite on the day.
Great gifts for birthdays, valentines or Mother's day and at this price, cheap enough to send just as a little cheer me up!

Primulas are woodland plants that come in a selection of shades - cream, pink and apricot - and will bring the colour of spring to a dark winter window sill.
They need some light, but you should avoid too much direct sunlight which will scorch the young leaves. A north, west or east facing windowsill is ideal, not too close to the glass and away from any radiators.
You will need to water regularly especially if in a warm spot. In a warm room, you may need to water several times a week. Try to keep the compost damp – not dry and not soggy.
If your primroses are in pots they can be allowed to suck water up from underneath - just leave the plastic pots in a tray or sink with a couple of cms of water for a few minutes before returning to their planter. If your primroses are in a metal trough just water the soil regularly from the top, but don’t overwater or you will get a pool at the bottom which could drown the roots.
Keep pinching out the flowers as they fade to encourage the young buds. When all the flowers are over why not plant out in the garden or a window box for next year?
If the leaves or flowers start to droop, water thoroughly immediately and they should recover.
