My brother, who is a senior scientist for the RHS at Wisley, tells me that it is all to do with the pH of the soil. We don’t get many primroses, but we do get oxlips, which I rarely saw when I lived in the UK.
That's interesting. Primroses grow like weeds on my clay. I know of one place near here where you can see cowslips. It's an ancient site, now run by English Heritage. Why the soil should be so different there, I don't know.
