PRIMULA vulgaris \nOur native wildflower, Primula vulgaris commonly known as Wild Primrose is held in great affection by many people who regard it as the first true sign that spring has arrived. \nThe plant forms a dense rosette of large, crinkled, heavily veined, deep green leaves and from early March through to May the pale-yellow flowers which are often scented appear singly on pink stems in the centre of the rosette. \nA hardy perennial, Primula vulgaris prefers a shady. sheltered site, but is able to withstand dry conditions and grows naturally in hedgerows and woodland glades. \nWild Primrose are at their best when planted en-masse and allowed to naturalise. \nLarge clumps benefit from being lifted and divided every two/three years and this is best done in wet weather after the plant has flowered. \nPrimula vulgaris also has many uses in traditional medicine. \nRoyal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit (AGM). \nAll pictures used are of mature plants in full bloom and may not necessarily reflect the plant at all times of the year. \nOur Wild Primrose are ed as well grown jumbo plug plants which are best grown on in 9 or 10cm pot for a short time before transplanting to their final growing positions. \nIMMEDIATE \nFREE  \nTo compliment our Wild Primrose we also have Cowslip available. \nThe Wildlife Trust have an interesting page on Primrose's take a look here. \nPlease remember plant maintenance within our nursery is absolutely essential and means we need to prune back some items at certain times of the year to help maintain shape and encourage new growth. \nWe ask all our buyers to remember Wild Primrose or Primula vulgaris are living plants and their appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.\n\n We want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Wild Primrose plants are checked and inspected visually before packing. at .  .
