Description
The Wood Primrose, better known as the oxslip, is a perennial herbaceous plant that blooms early in the spring between March and May. This flowering cheerfully announces the arrival of sunny days and composes the first bouquets. It is a woodland plant that easily settles in the garden with a semi-shaded exposure.
The sulphur yellow flowers of Primula elatior are borne above semi-evergreen leaves, 10-20cm (4-8in) long, oval-oblong in shape, medium green, wavy and covered with soft hairs on the underside. The erect rigid stems bear unilateral multiflower umbels consisting of 2 to 12 flowers. The genus name comes from the Latin word "primus" which means "first" and refers to the early flowering period of the best-known primroses species.
This elegant flower is often found in woodlands, fresh meadows or embankments. It is mainly present in Western and Central Europe, in the northeastern quarter of France. It is rare in the southeast and some western regions, and absent along the Mediterranean coast.
The primrose generally prefers a semi-shaded location and a non-scorching exposure. It likes humus-rich and moist soils, without stagnant moisture in winter. It is perfect for creating a natural and countryside atmosphere in a garden that is a bit too formal.
Like P.veris and P.vulgaris, its leaves and flowers have medicinal properties and can be consumed raw or cooked. In particular, primrose flower tea helps to relieve chesty coughs.
The primrose pairs well with forget-me-nots, bleeding hearts, and aubrietas, and accompanies the spring flowering bulbs such as crocuses, daffodils, or tulips.

Planting and care
Primula eliator generally prefers a cool and humus-rich spot. The soil should remain moist without being waterlogged, the young plants should not dry out in summer, so choose a location in the shade of a tree or in a leafy bed or hedge, this way, the summer shade will ensure the longevity of your planting. Install the primrose between October and March, outside the freezing period, with a mix of soil and compost; an organic contribution based on manure is appreciated. Water regularly at the beginning if it doesn't rain. Do not plant the primroses too deeply as they are prone to heart rot.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
