Description

Names include cowslip, common cowslip, cowslip primrose, The common name cowslip may derive from the old English folklore for cow dung, probably because the plant was often found growing amongst the manure in cow pastures. An alternative derivation simply refers to slippery or boggy ground; again, a typical habitat for this plant. The plant is an important source of nectar for bees and other pollinators, and is a traditional symbol of spring and renewal. The flowers of cowslip can be used to make a fragrant tea or infused into a sweet wine (Cowslip wine) or liqueur.
