These will thrive in most conditions – they are happy in shade, sun and even the moistest soils
Line a path, plant them in grass, or fill a container with these for sunny cheer early in the year. The flowers are edible too and look lovely on a plate.
Primula flowers have a mild, sweet flavour, delicious scattered on top of salads.
