What are the best conditions for cowslips.

United Kingdom

I have a wild section in my garden, with a shady area and some open patches, with grass. It is not the sunniest patch of ground. Where shall I put a cowslip I have just been given?


On plant Primula veris

in an area that is damp if at all possible... sunny is fine so long as it is not dry ground

our local bypass is full of them, half way up the embankment but there are more on the sunny side. sunny for 1/2 the day. In the garden I have them on the edge of the tree canopy just catching the morning sun. but its quite dry.
