Cowslip Cabrillo A beautiful, bright yellow, scented cowslip, Primula veris Cabrillo is a small, clump-forming, semi-evergreen perennial with a rosette of wrinkled, mid-green, primrose-like leaves. In April and May, umbels of charming, fragrant, nodding, cowslip flowers of a brilliant yellow rise above the leaves. Cowslip Cabrillo can grow in a woodland setting, in grass, or in a bed or border, or a pot, and will seed about mildly in the garden. An absolute delight in spring.
