Another townie question
Do grazing animals eat primrose leaves?
The reason I'm asking is because it occurred to me that if they do the plants must recover in time for next spring. This might mean that I could trim the larger leaves off mine much sooner as if they recover from cropping in the wild, they would recover in my garden.
I've explained this very badly but I hope you get my drift.

wild primroses and cowslips grow in grass here and get mowed after May or June. They come back and flower every year.
I prefer white Lantana.
In the sticks near Peterborough
I've never seen white Lantana. I like the pinky orangey red stuff...
I'll get my coat.
It'll have to be a goat. We'd never get a cow through the back gate.
Thanks for my hoped for answer. Primroses take up a lot of space after flowering and as I allow then to self seed they get in the way.
Geese would be better than goats - goats are more browsers than grazers, you'd lose all your shrubs and fruit bushes (just as Ma did when one of our goats escaped) - geese would go for the grass and leave larger leaves.
But otherwise mow as Nutcutlet advises, I've seen her primroses and whatever she does works just fine

Goose sh@@e is awful slippery though.
But they're a very good Christmas dinner
