Oxlip primrose

This charming but tough primrose is more persistent and tolerates more heat and drought than most of its kin. Clusters of soft yellow flowers, often fragrant, rise above pale green rosettes of foliage in spring attracting bees. This is the true wild form rarely found in the trade.

Tips from the pros: Cut back finished flower stalks in late spring and remove any tattered leaves to refresh the appearance.
