Primula veris ‘Sunset Shades’ (Common Cowslip) is a semi-evergreen perennial favored by many gardeners with partially shaded gardens. Hardy and easy to grow, it bears large umbels of nodding, tubular, fragrant flowers in shades of yellow, orange and coppery red in mid-late spring. The brilliant blossoms are borne atop upright stems above delicate rosettes of oblong-ovate, fresh green leaves. A flamboyant choice for the shade garden.
