Cowslip

Drooping clusters of scented, deep yellow flowers emerge from rosettes of mid-green leaves from mid to late spring.

Cowslips are perfect for a wildflower garden on moist soil, so why not help to reverse this trend?Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: moist, humus-rich, neutral to acid soilRate of growth: averageFlowering period: April to MayFlower colour: deep yellowOther features: mid-green leaves from mid to late springHardiness: fully hardy Garden care: Generally, problem-free but do ensure that the ground remains moist, especially where the plant is growing in full sunGoes well with: Primula florindae, Anemone nemorosa, Polygonatum odoratum, Galanthus nivalis, Primula vulgaris, Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae
