Product Information
Primula Belarina is an incredible range of vibrantly coloured primroses with the largest blooms, and most scented double flowers, creating a lovely bright splash of colour.
These wonderful, compact plants have rosettes of beautifully textured leaves and are smothered in flowers between March and May and will look fabulous wherever you plant them. They're great in pots, containers, beds, or baskets, in partial shade or sun - they really are easy to grow and bring the spring garden to life with their cheerful colours.
In this collection you will receive one each of the following varieties:
- Primula Belarina 'Carmen' - This is the first ever fragrant hardy primrose with ruffled, blousy blooms bursting in a spectacular show of vibrant rose-red petals throughout the season.
- Primula Belarina 'Goldie' - A fabulous, compact plant that is smothered in clusters of delicately fragranced, golden-yellow, double flowers which look like miniature roses.
- Primula Belarina 'Ocean Blue - The large, lightly fragranced double flowers area fabulously bright purple-blue colour and impossible to miss in the spring garden.
Perfectly hardy in the garden, they're great when combined with other perennials and underneath trees and shrubs where they'll flower for months, gradually forming large clumps that can be divided every few years to give you more plants.
Supplied as 3 x plug plants, ready to grow on before planting out.

Plant Care Information
Top Tips
Care Information
- Give your plugs a little attention on arrival - unpack them immediately, and either mist them or stand them in water for an hour - they may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover. If you can’t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
- We recommend that you leave them to settle for a day somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
- When you're ready to pot on, use a good quality, multi-purpose compost, and fill 3-4in pots (7-10cm).
- Make a hole in the compost with a dibber or your finger, then holding each plug by its root ball, place it into the hole and gently firm the compost around it.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry as they don’t like to be left in standing water.
- Grow on either on a bright windowsill or a greenhouse for 3-4 weeks before potting up into containers or into flower beds.
- Primroses enjoy moist, well-drained soil. Established plants can be planted out anytime unless the soil is waterlogged or frozen.
- Dig a hole the same size as the plant’s root ball. Place the plant in position, firm down the soil and water.
- To prolong flowering, remove spent flower heads and remove any yellow leaves.
- Divide clumps every couple of years in early autumn.
