Cowslip (Primula veris) UK Native True Wild Form

Cultivation advice 

• Best sown in Autumn 2 mm deep only barely covered with soil and left in a greenhouse or cold frame over winter with a piece of glass over the tray.
• The seed will not germinate until has had extensive exposure to cold weather to break the seeds dormancy.
• Alternatively, sow March to May in a small pot. Enclose pot in a plastic bag or sealed container to conserve moisture and place in the bottom of a refrigerator (5°C) to pre-chill. After three weeks, remove and grow cool at 13-16°C (55-60°F).
• Plant out to final position when seedlings are large enough to handle.
• The variety will flower from its second season onwards and readily self-seeds.
