Lucy's Easter Favourite

Pale Yellow Flowers of the wild primrose at Easter time
The wild primrose (Primula vulgaris) is a delightful semi-evergreen native perennial forming low leafy mounds, each topped with sweetly fragrant, single, pale yellow flowers with marked, darker yellow eyes.
Flowering from March to May, it’s a real Easter baby. The wild primrose is a charming plant for pots and containers in north-facing gardens, ideal for the small cottage garden, wild flower or woodland garden. Personally I just leave them to naturalise in wild grassy areas or along banks.

What a beautiful plant! I will be looking it up and finding out more so I can grow it in time for next Easter.

I love the fact that this flower is as nature intended, not the gastly brightly coloured hybrids made by man. We should all try to grow true native plants without us altering them.

My favourite flowers, I just love the colour, nature truly knows what it is doing.
