Primula elatior, commonly known as Oxlip, is the true wild form of this beloved British native. Highly scented, dark-eyed, pale yellow flowers appear in spring, their stems arising from tidy rosettes of almost oblong, rough-textured green leaves.
Oxlip lends itself beautifully to naturalising in open woodland areas and gives off a divine fragrance, making it a wonderful choice for a sensory garden. Low maintenance and long-lived, it provides an early food source for bees and other pollinators. Best in a moisture-retentive soil in sun or partial shade.
