Spring is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a festival dedicated to the vibrant beauty of
primroses and primulas?

At Otter Garden Centres, we’re thrilled to launch our Primrose & Primula Festival, marking the start of our exciting 2026 series of plant festivals.

This special event is all about showcasing the charm and versatility of these beloved spring bloomers. Known for their cheerful colours and ability to brighten even the dullest corners, primroses and primulas hold a special place in every gardener’s heart. Whether you’re looking to refresh your garden borders, create stunning container displays, or simply enjoy the joy of gardening, this festival has something for everyone.

At the heart of the festival are our Otter Grown Plants—locally cultivated with care and a commitment to sustainability.

These plants are not only stunning but also perfectly suited to thrive in our local climate, making them a must-have for your garden this season.

A feast for Pollinators

Primroses and primulas are more than just beautiful additions to your garden—they’re also an essential source of food for pollinators.

Their early-season nectar provides a vital energy boost for bees, butterflies, and other insects emerging from their winter dormancy.

By planting these flowers, you’re creating a haven for wildlife, helping to support local ecosystems, and contributing to the health of your garden.

Plus, watching pollinators at work adds an extra layer of joy to your outdoor space!

Happy Plants, Happy Gardens

Keep the soil moist but well-drained for healthy growth.

They love partial shade, especially on sunny afternoons.

Use a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season for abundant blooms.

Pairing Perfectly

Combine with spring bulbs like tulips and daffodils for a gorgeous garden display.

Add them to planters for instant patio charm!

Locally grown with care!

Our Otter Grown Plants are cultivated locally using sustainable methods.

Hardy and vibrant, they thrive in our local climate.

We’re also proud to share that many of our primroses and primulas are planted in eco-friendly BioPlasmar pots.

These innovative, sustainable pots are made from biodegradable materials, reflecting our commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting environmentally responsible gardening practices.

By choosing plants in BioPlasmar pots, you’re not only adding beauty to your garden but also supporting a greener future.

We are excited to be the first in the UK to use these BioPlasmar pots,
