My garden in April

Primula vulgaris

Review Notes: Fragrant, pale yellow flowers with orange markings at the base. This is the plant found growing wild in banks and shady woodland settings in Ireland, known affectionately as the Primrose.
I haven't noticed a fragrance from my primroses but they are downright pretty little plants. They are so welcome when they brighten up my garden in early spring and I value them highly.
Thinking about it, primroses and bluebells are probably the first flowers I knew. They grew in abundance on a bank on the country lane which I walked as a lad each day on my way to primary school. They must have been beautiful to have caught my attention in those early days!
If they like the location they will self seed and naturalise. In cultivation, sow the seeds in autumn. They need to go through a cold winter before they germinate, so they can be left in a cold frame.
