Wild Primrose

This pretty wildflower, native to Britain, provides delicately scented, pale yellow flowers for the garden and the plate.  This herbaceous perennial is popular with those keen on cake decoration, as the flowers are particularly suited to sugaring.  The young leaves are also edible and can be added to salads or used as a green vegetable.  Wild Primroses are a hardy flower which will provide you with a lovely, natural yellow carpet of flowers early in the year, a sure sign that spring is on the way!
