A lovely and elegant variety of Primula vulgaris, Primrose 'Cottage Cream' is known for its soft, creamy-yellow blooms that brighten up early spring gardens. Providing a refreshing splash of colour after the winter months, each bloom features a subtle golden centre, which contrasts beautifully with the pale petals and dark green rosette of foliage beneath. Reaching a height of around 20-30cm, Primrose 'Cottage Cream' thrives in cool, moist, and well-drained soil, making it ideal for partially shaded areas like woodland gardens or the edges of borders. One of the first plants to bloom after winter, it is easy to grow and maintain and fully hardy. Attracting pollinators, providing a welcome nectar-rich feast for early insects, 'Cottage Cream' is a perfect addition for adding subtle, cheerful beauty to any garden.
