Cowslip is one of Britain’s most cherished spring wildflowers. Its delicate, nodding clusters of scented, golden-yellow blooms lift the meadow in early spring when few other flowers are open. Cowslip is a vital early-season nectar source for bumblebees, solitary bees, and early butterflies. It thrives in traditional meadow conditions and contributes to a natural, romantic woodland-edge feel. Historically, cowslips were used in traditional remedies and were an important symbol of springtime across the UK.
