Plant a party of colour with Primroses!

You’re invited to join us and plant a party of colour in your garden this season as we celebrate all things Primroses from 17th February until 17th March across Yorkshire Garden Centres!
Over this next month, we’ll be sharing expert tips to help you keep your Primroses looking perfect, along with exclusive offers for Green Card members! Be sure to check out our how to guides and expert advice from our GREAT Team – we can’t wait to help you create a colourful party in your garden this spring!
Spring into the new season
Primroses are one of the first signs that spring is here (or just around the corner!) With their eye catching petal colours, they’ll immediately bring a splash of spring to your garden.
Welcome Wonderful Wildlife
Primroses aren’t just beautiful – they’re also great for welcoming pollinators into your garden. At this time of year, nectar can be scarce, and Primroses provide an early food source for bees and other pollinators who are buzzing to welcome the start of spring.
Plant a Party of Colour
Planting primroses creates a vibrant, ongoing display that’ll carry you through the season. It’s the perfect way to lift these dreary winter days!
How to plant your Primroses
Primroses are versatile and can thrive in almost any garden! Here are some of our favourite ways to plant them for maximum impact…
Brilliant Baskets
When planting hanging baskets, pair Primroses with trailing plants like ivy or begonias for a gorgeous cascading effect. The vibrant Primrose colours will create a striking contrast against the greenery.
Beautiful Borders
For a natural look, plant Primroses in groups of 5-7 along borders. This creates a beautiful, layered display that lasts throughout the spring. It’s an easy way to create a burst of colour without any fuss and providing your border doesn’t get too water logged, they’ll come back year after year!
Colourful Containers
Primroses make great container plants, especially when paired with a great quality compost. This helps keep the roots healthy and prevents waterlogging, so your plants stay strong and vibrant all season long.
Meet Marc – our Plant Buyer who’s mad about Primroses!
Marc loves Primroses so much, he couldn’t resist running a Primrose Celebration across all Yorkshire Garden Centres! Here’s what he has to say about these springtime favourites!
“Ah, Primroses – they’re the first sign of spring! The bright colours and the fact that they’re so hardy – they just keep on giving. I love how they come in all sorts of hues, from soft pastel shades to bold fiery colours. Whether you’re looking to brighten up a window box, a border or even along your garden path, Primroses bring that burst of cheer we all need after the long winter months. Plus, they’re super easy to care for – what’s not to love?”

Anne’s Top Pick
“My favourite Primroses have to be the deep, rich blues – they pop so beautifully in a container, especially when paired with bright yellows like Daffodils. There’s something so striking about the contrast, and it really brings a fresh, vibrant feel to your garden!”
Louis’ Top Pick
“I’m drawn to the fiery shades like reds and oranges – they look like flames! These bold colors bring so much energy and warmth to the garden, making every space feel alive especially after a cold, dull winter!”
