Description
It’s hard to beat a carpet of cowslips in the middle of spring, self-seeding gently through the front of a border or in short grass. They thrive on chalk, but here on heavy clay, they’re naturalising well even in our (sometimes) damp meadow. I adore the scent, so love to have enough in the garden to pick for a regular vase. Plus, the flowers and leaves are edible too. Add the flowers to salads for a lovely burst of citrus or cook the leaves like you would your favourite spinach varieties.
Care Tips
Regular picking of flowers and deadheading your wallflowers is important during the warmer months to prevent them running to seed.
