Cowslips prefer sunny location
In the wild, the various types of cowslip species - above all, of course, the true cowslip as well as the also known as the forest cowslip High cowslip - have become quite rare. Here, the protected early flowering plants are mainly found on meadows and in light oak or mixed beech forests or at forest edges. Even in the garden, the plants prefer a sunny location.

Cowslips feel particularly well in sunny to partially shaded spots, where the soil should be as humus, loose and calcareous. Too heavy garden soil - such as a loamy - can be loosened up with plenty of sand and lime. Especially beautiful is the early bloomer, if it is planted under woody plants.
Cowslips best plant in the fall
Cowslips should be best planted or sown in the fall, with the shrubs, once native, very self-sufficient. If a self-sowing is to be prevented, you must remove the bloomed inflorescences. The planting of each cowslip ideally takes place at intervals of 10 to 15 centimeters.
