Native Cowslip, 1L

Closely associated with spring and Easter, Primula veris, commonly known as a Cowslip, is a semi-evergreen, clump-forming perennial that once grew abundantly in pastureland, meadows, and along roadside verges. As these natural habitats have declined, the sight of fields glowing with its cheerful yellow blooms has become increasingly rare. This makes the cowslip a delightful choice for gardens or containers, where it can bring a vibrant splash of spring colour and traditional charm. Cowslips bear delicately scented yellow flowers held in clusters on erect stems, which form an important food source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. They naturalise well in damp, grassy areas, so are useful for planting around ponds. Minimum order of three plants.
