Description

Primula veris, commonly known as the Cowslip, is a cherished native British wildflower producing clusters of fragrant, nodding golden‑yellow bells on upright stems. Flowering in early to mid‑spring, it brings natural charm to damp borders, wildflower meadows, pond edges and cottage‑style gardens. Hardy, reliable and excellent for wildlife, it’s a key early nectar source for bees, butterflies and other spring pollinators.


Features & Benefits

  • Native wildflower — supports local biodiversity and naturalistic planting
  • Fragrant yellow blooms — classic spring colour with soft scent
  • Moisture‑tolerant — thrives in damp borders and meadow‑style planting
  • Wildlife value — vital early nectar source for bees and butterflies

Repotting or Planting

Remove the plant from its pot and plant into moist, well‑drained soil enriched with organic matter. Position the crown level with the soil surface and water thoroughly after planting.
