Cowslip (Primula veris), packet of 100 seeds, organic

Family:  Primrose (Primulaceae)

Hardy to Zones 4 to 8

This seed is a native land race from the moist meadows of Britain. In the early spring, the plant bursts forth like a lemon lozenge discarded onto the grassy landscape–small, rounded, shining, and impossibly golden yellow.  Traditional usage (TWM): Sedative, pain relieving, face wash.  Winemaking. Plant prefers part shade to sun and moist, well-drained soil.  Sow seed in fall, midwinter or very early spring.  Keep cool to cold, evenly moist, and in the shade.  Once seedlings reach second set of true leaves, pot up and work up to sufficient size to transplant to the garden.  Space plants a foot apart.
