In the wild, the various cowslip species - above all, of course, the common cowslip and the common cowslip, also known as the common cowslip - have become quite rare. Here, the early bloomers, which are under nature protection, can be found primarily in meadows and in sparse mixed oak or beech forests or at the edges of forests. In the garden, too, the plants prefer a sunny location.
The cowslip loves the sun
Sunny location with loose, humus-rich soil
Cowslips feel particularly comfortable in sunny to semi-shady locations, whereby the soil should be as humus-rich, loose and calcareous as possible. Garden soil that is too heavy - such as loamy soil - can be loosened up with plenty of sand and lime. The early bloomer is particularly beautiful when planted under trees.
It is best to plant cowslips in autumn
Cowslips are best planted or sown in autumn, whereby the perennial, once established, will self-seed very reliably. If self-seeding is to be prevented, you must remove the faded inflorescences. The individual cowslips are ideally planted at a distance of 10 to 15 centimeters.

A colorful bed of spring flowers with cowslips, tulips, daffodils and hyacinths really gets you in the mood for spring.
