Commonly called Paigles, these sweetly scented, golden yellow flowers have a contrasting orange eye and are held on long stems above a rosette of pale green crinkly leaves.
Features: Early flowering grassland treasure
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: Sow thinly on the surface of a small tray of pre-watered compost. Place in a cold frame or outside but protect trays from mice and birds with polythene or glass. Do not let the surface of the compost dry out. Germination may be erratic and may not occur until the seeds have been subjected to a period of cold temperatures. Transplant individually when large enough to handle to 8cm (3") pots. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on to allow plants to develop before planting out, spacing 15cm (6") apart.
Soil Type: Well drained, fertile
Position: Part shade
Hints & Tips: Mainly seen growing wild in meadows, pastures and woodland, making it ideal for grassy areas, banks and border edging.
