    Primula elatior (Oxlip). The wild form of our native Oxlip. From early spring a rosette of apple green foliage emerges which in april or may sends up stems from 10 to 30cm which are topped with a one sided umbel of short stalked primrose flowers. It was once prolific in eastern England from London to Cambridge and into Norfolk, where it was synonymous with acient woodland coppices and grew in large numbers, replacing the common primrose. It is easily grown in heavy rich soils, particularly over chalk, in shade or partial shade which do not dry out in summer.

    Primula florindae (himalayan cowslip). A primula that combines great poise and charm with stalwart reliability. From a stout clump of rounded leaves come 60-90cm stems from which hang an ever increasing number of pale lemon fragrant flowers dusted on the outside with a pale yellow farina.  The scent is the most delicious and complex of any of the primulas, rich and heady like a sweet nose full of Pears soap. I think it ranks as one of the best perfumes of the year - right up there with the best of the roses and so easy to grow as well. Any moist to soggy soil. Discovered by Frank Kingdon-Ward and named by him after his 1st wife, the tall blonde Florinda.

    Primula veris 'Sunset Shades' (red cowslip). Cowslips with party dresses. It is likely that these cowslips share some of their genes with red flowered polyanthus and although still typically cowslip shaped, they are larger flowered, more flambouyant plants with flowers in shades of red and orange. They make super garden plants enjoying the same conditions as P.veris: they need to see the sun but without drying out in summer and flower in April to June.

Needs moisture without waterlogging in a cool position. 60cm. Summer. China . Z7. George Forrest discovered this Primula and named it in honour of his good friend and the man who helped facilitate his travels, Consul G. Litton of Tengyueh.

    Primula vulgaris (Primrose) (Primula acaulis subsp. acaulis) Whether grown at the front of a formal border or naturalised amongst grass and wild flowers, the cheerful native primrose is always sure to bring a ray of sunshine to the new year garden. We grow Primroses from seed collected from wild primroses growing in the banks of our Dorset nursery. As such you can be assured of getting the true colour, including the occasional flesh pink, rather than the colour sometimes coming from commercial seed. Happiest in a sunny bank. Ideal as a food source for the early bumblebees.
