Product Description
Mr Fothergills Natures Helpers Primula Cowslip Seeds (Primula veris) are a charming and increasingly rare native wildflower, valued for their delicate scent and early spring flowers. Blooming from March to May, cowslips create gentle colour in borders, patio pots, and naturalised grassy areas while providing an important nectar source for pollinators emerging early in the season.
These hardy perennials are easy to grow when sown thinly on moist compost, either outdoors or in a cold frame. Once established, they form neat clumps of soft yellow blooms above fresh green foliage. Ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens, cowslips reward patient gardeners with long-lasting spring interest and timeless countryside appeal.
