Primula veris

Cowslip. Classed as a wildflower. The original and in our opinion the best of the primulas, it's where most of the hybridised varieties come from. Although it's a wild native flower, we have never seen it take over a garden and it well behaved. Drooping clusters of scented, deep yellow flowers emerge from rosettes of mid-green leaves from mid to late spring.  You used to see them everywhere but they have started to disappear in the last decade, so do your bit to bring them back! Great for bees. Height & Spread 25cm. Full sun or part shade.

Medicinally is used for bronchitis and nose and throat ailments.
