Primula elatior

This is the true Oxlip not the coarser Cowslip/Primrose hybrid. With clear primrose yellow flowers held in a gracefully drooping cluster on one side of the stalk, this Primula thrives in light woodland and relishes heavy clay, and although rare in the wild it will naturalise easily. AGM

Supplied as Bare-root Plants (sent without pots, with roots carefully prepared for planting)
