Description
Wild Primrose 9cm Pot Plants Primula vulgaris
The cheerful yellow flowers of this small woodland perennial can be seen in woodlands and alongside riverbanks from as early as February. In the right conditions, the wild primrose can cover the ground in open woods and shaded hedgerows. It is an important source of nectar for the earliest butterflies.
Wild primrose plants will thrive in most conditions, in sun or shade and in moist soil and are at home in cottage garden borders and containers as well as in larger naturalistic woodland plantings.
They have traditionally been associated with fairies and were nicknamed 'fairy cups.'
Sourced from native seed and grown in the UK, our 9cm pot plants are a quick and effective way to boost species in a wildflower meadow.
We recommend planting around 3 plants per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
