3 Primula Veris Lime with Orange Plants, Hardy Spring Flowering Perennial, 11cm Root-Ball

Bring a splash of unique colour to your spring garden with this stunning set of three Primula veris 'Lime with Orange' plants. This charming variety of the beloved native Cowslip produces clusters of delicate, tubular flowers in soft lime-green tones with warm orange centres, held aloft on upright stems above neat rosettes of textured, mid-green foliage. A reliable and fully hardy perennial, Primula veris is one of the most cherished spring-flowering wildflowers and a magnet for early pollinators.

Equally at home in cottage borders, woodland edges, rockeries, or naturalised in grass, this easy-going perennial returns year after year with minimal fuss. The 'Lime with Orange' colour form adds an unusual twist to the classic Cowslip, pairing beautifully with other spring bulbs and perennials.
