Barnhaven Primroses

Barnhaven has been in existence as a primula and polyanthus breeder for more than eighty years now, and we are very proud of its traditions. We operate from a small family run nursery which has three shade tunnels and two plastic covered tunnels that are open at the sides. Our primulas are grown to be hardy. They are over-wintered on benches in the open-sided tunnels or on matting or gravel in the shade tunnels. Our collection of Show auriculas is grown under one of the plastic covered polytunnels with extra shade netting so that the plants are not too hot and get plenty of ventilation. This gives them protection from rain, but leaves them exposed to the cold.
