    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A very pale cowslip-coloured primrose that used to grow wild beside the road in Wales where Clare grew up. FRAGRANT. Likes rich, average-to-moist soil (on the heavy side) and protection from the afternoon sun. Divide every three years to keep it floriferous.
