Cowslips are semi-evergreen perennials that begin blooming in early to mid-spring. Their happy little nodding yellow flowers are a delight to pollinators and humans alike. Plant in organically rich, moist soil in part shade for best results. Will self-seed to form colonies over time.
The dried seed structure is beautiful. See third and fourth photos.
