MELLOW YELLOW

urrah for primroses – a sure sign of spring!) can be seen growing on banks, among hedgerows and woodland edges, their delicate yellow flowers offering nectar for pollinators fresh from hibernation. They’re easy to grow in gardens, too, as long as they have moist, well-drained soil and shade in summer. Try naturalising them in grass or plant under deciduous trees and shrubs.
