Cultural information: "Giant Cowslip" grows quite large... a great choice for large open areas. During late summer it produces fragrant, light yellow flowers that are held high above the plant. Flower heads face downward... technically known as nodding. Plant in partial shade in fertile, moist or boggy soils at the ponds or streams edge. Giant Cowslip prefers peat moss rich or acidic soils... but any fertile soil will do.
