Primula 'Stella Porcelain Blue' is a delightful primrose with lovely pale lavender blue flowers with bright yellow centres above rosettes of textured leaves. Primulas are woodland plants, so they love shady areas and look wonderful growing underneath shrubs and trees, and their colour makes them appear to glow in the dappled light. A little taller when in bloom than a lot of primroses, it makes a lovely, delicate cut flower. Reliable perennials that will naturalise easily, they form tight clumps over several years, and are an absolute delight when they emerge each spring. Occasionally they will flower for a second time in late summer or autumn. Supplied as 20 garden ready plants, ready to plant in your garden and growing to a height of 30 cm (1 ft) and spread of 20 cm (8 in).

Also known as the Chinese Pagoda Primrose or Orchid Primrose, their unique, violet-pink flower heads, each with a striking, bright-red, central spike rise majestically on slender, upright stems from the plant below. Perfect for shady borders or pots on the patio where they can get afternoon shade, these colourful Primula will certainly be a talking point, and look even better when grown in groups! Each of your plants will form a compact habit of deeply-veined, lance-shaped leaves that will grow to about 30cm across. During the winter, the foliage will die back, and the plants becomes dormant. Supplied as 6 x large plug plants ready to be planted out.
Cowslips are one of those Spring plants, just like wild primroses, that signal the start of Spring and better things to come. These old-fashioned cowslips are perfect for planters, borders or dotting around your lawn and their cheery tall stems of yellow bell-shaped flowers add a natural look to this formerly widespread wildflower. They're also the perfect starting point for creating a wildflower garden and will burst into life from March and continue through to the summer. They take very little looking after so are great for adding splashes of buttery yellow colour to contrast against green foliage and your lawn, and all with very little effort. They work well in mixed seasonal planters or dotted round mixed borders or even lawn plantings, as grassland meadows is their native habitat. Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come. They're winter hardy so will keep coming back each year in the spring and love a sunny spot in moist soil. Plant in late summer and early autumn or best results next spring. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant out.
