& &#38 Wildflower Wild Cowslip &#40 primula Veris&#41 1 Packet

Primula veris, commonly known as cowslip, is a much-loved wildflower of meadows and hedgerows. Its fragrant, pendulous, lemon-yellow blooms are a simple yet striking sight in spring, bringing a natural charm to borders, wildlife areas, and cottage gardens. Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, this hardy perennial is easy to grow in sun or part shade. Beyond its ornamental appeal, cowslip also has edible petals that can be used fresh in salads, crystallised for cake decorations, or sprinkled over desserts. Sow from late winter in good seed compost. Scatter seed on the surface and gently firm down. Cover with glass or seal in a clear bag, placing in a shady spot without excluding light. Maintain soil damp but not wet. Germination usually occurs within 10–15 days at 15–18°C, but higher temperatures can hinder it. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into small pots and grow on in cool, moist conditions. Plant out 23cm apart in fertile soil in sun or part shade. Flowers appear in spring. Cowslips will naturalise over time, creating charming drifts year after year. Images shown are for guidance only and show the expected results of plants upon maturity. Different growing conditions might vary results. Image may be included for illustration of supply but can vary due to seasonality changes (e. g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months). Decorative pots are not supplied.
