Lucy's Easter plant pick

The wild primrose (Primula vulgaris) is a delightful semi-evergreen native perennial forming low leafy mounds, each topped with sweetly fragrant, single, pale yellow flowers with marked, darker yellow eyes.
Flowering from March to May, it’s a real Easter baby. The wild primrose is a charming plant for pots and containers in north-facing gardens, ideal for the small cottage garden, wild flower or woodland garden. Personally I just leave them to naturalise in wild grassy areas or along banks.
