Primula denticulata 'Alba'
The Drumstick Primrose, Primula denticulata 'Alba', is a charming herbaceous perennial that brings a splash of pure white to the early spring garden. It features globose umbels of white flowers that rise above lush, large leaves, creating a striking visual. This variety thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and prefers a location with full sun to part shade. It's well-suited for woodland gardens, bog gardens, or even containers, and it readily self-sows, adding to its natural appeal. The large leaves can look worn later in the season, so planting it amongst later-emerging plants is recommended.
