Cowslips are best sown in the autumn directly outdoors or in seed trays. They need cold to germinate and require a planting distance of about 25 cm. They also multiply by themselves and are therefore very suitable for naturalizing.
The common cowslip loves semi-shaded areas with nutrient-poor and well-aerated soil. It thrives very well under trees or on rough pastures.
