Cowslip Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perPrimula veris
Cowslip is a charming perennial wildflower native to Europe, producing clusters of cheerful golden-yellow flowers on slender stems reaching around 25 cm tall. Blooming from late winter to early spring, the delicately fragrant flowers are often said to carry a sweet apricot-like scent. A favourite in cottage gardens, woodland plantings and naturalised areas, Cowslip thrives in cool conditions and provides an important early nectar source for bees and other pollinators.
Traditionally, the flowers have been used to prepare delicate herbal teas and have a long history of use in European herbal medicine. Their mild flavour and attractive appearance also make them a beautiful garnish for desserts and spring dishes.
Approximately 1,000–1,500 seeds per gram
Approximately 90 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to July
Subtropics: March to August
Mild climates: March to September
Cold climates: Autumn to spring
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed on the surface of a moist, free-draining seed-raising mix and press gently into the soil without covering, as light assists germination. Fresh seed germinates most readily and may benefit from a period of cool temperatures. Keep consistently moist and transplant seedlings into fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Space plants 20–30 cm apart and avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
