Primula vulgaris, commonly called primrose, is a semi-evergreen, rosette-forming perennial that is native from southern Europe to western Asia. Short-stalked, often fragrant, salverform, pale yellow flowers (each to 2.5cm across) bloom in clusters rising to 15cm tall from the center of an open basal rosette of wrinkled obovate leaves with pubescent undersides. Leaves elongate after flowering to 15-20cm long. Primula comes from the Latin word primus meaning first in reference to early spring bloom time. Bright spring flowers that grow well in part shade locations including border fronts, rock gardens, open woodland gardens, under trees, along paths, along streams/ponds or in boggy areas. May be an effective edger. Also may be grown in pots. Both flowers and leaves are edible, the flavour ranging between mild lettuce and more bitter salad greens. The leaves can also be used for tea, and the young flowers can be made into primrose wine. On offer is a pack of 5 Seeds We'll supply you with all the germination & care instructions. |
