Legendary Barnhaven primroses

The primrose family is huge – around 500 botanical species, then thousands of hybrids.  There are primroses for damp places, for drier spots, lots for your average plot and there are varieties in flower almost every month of the year. In the USA in the 1930’s Florence Bellis began her famous hybridising programme and 75 years on we are still producing seed that brings forth plants around the world that enchant and delight. Try our seeds or ready to go plants and experience the magic of Barnhaven for yourselves.

The nursery is still open to visitors. Please ring ahead to check someone is there to greet you.
