Giant Cowslip, Tibetan Cowslip, Bog Primula, Himalayan Cowslip, Tibetan Primrose, Florinda Primrose
One of the largest and most fragrant of the primula species, award-winning Primula florindae (Giant Cowslip) is a long-lived perennial favored by many gardeners with damp and partially shaded gardens. Hardy and easy to grow, it bears large umbels of delicately scented, nodding, rich, sunny yellow flowers (up to 40 per umbel) trimmed with silver farina around the base. Filling the air with their heavenly honey perfume, they bloom over a very long flowering season extending from early summer through late summer, atop upright, sturdy stems and rosettes of long-stalked, broad-ovate, bold green leaves. Native to southeastern Tibet, this Giant Cowslip is a great choice to brighten up a shady area!
