One of the easiest primula to grow! Primula vulgaris is a hardy perennial plant grown both as an ornamental, and it also grows in d woodlands. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

The primrose was Benjamin Disraeli's favourite flower; Primrose Day and the Primrose League were given their names in honour of this. It was voted the county flower of Devon in 2002 following a poll by the wild flora conservation charity Plantlife.

Plants will gently form colonies if they are allowed to self seed. An excellent plant for difficult shady areas.
