they'd prefer some sun.
They're totally hardy and probably be happy anywhere. On another thread recently someone suggested burying the pots in soil to protect the roots. That might be worth considering
Good idea Nutcutlet - think I'll try that! Many thanks!
Thanks Hollie - can't wait to see them in flower next year. We don't have
any wild cowslips or primroses here at all, so hopefully, if these get going
they will spread to other areas eventually.
Can anyone please tell me if "Love in the Mist" is a wild flower as a neighbour
has kindly given me some seeds and she thinks they are wild flowers, but I'm
not sure.
I don't think it's a wild flower here ffb, though I'm sure it is somewhere. further south, Med maybe
Thanks Nutcutlet - I'll plant them in my "other garden" just in case!!
I had a great crop this year, must have been hanging around for a couple of years as none appeared last year
Great for goldfinches - even in a town centre my daughter gets goldfinches feeding on the Love in a Mist aka nigella in her back garden.
My wild flower bit is looking rather messy. OH wants it tidied up. I want to leave it for the birds.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
