Primrose and Polyanthus are both primulas which is the plant 'family' they are both in. The main difference between them is that primroses have the flowers close to the leaves whereas polyanthus flowers are on longer stems. They have been bred from the wild forms, the cowslip (Primula veris) and the common primrose (Primula vulgaris.)
