The candelabra primulas are putting on a real show at Monteviot 🌸

Rising in elegant tiers of colour, these striking plants thrive along our waterways and damp borders, creating a beautifully natural, almost wild feel at this time of year. From soft pastels to vivid pinks, purples, and oranges, they’re a reminder of just how vibrant early summer planting can be.

If you’re visiting soon, be sure to take a wander along the Dene bridges and see them at their best — they won’t be around for long.

Monteviot is a carpet of bluebells, our woodland paths have become a sea of violet-blue. The air feels softer, the light filters gently through the trees, and every corner seems to glow with late spring.

It’s one of those fleeting moments in the season that feels almost magical - it's quiet, colourful, and completely unforgettable. If ever there was a time to slow down and wander our garden this is it. 🌿💜
