Primula denticulata (Primrose)

Primula denticulata
(Syn: Drumstick Primrose) Primula denticulata blooms very early in spring. Over a period of several weeks the spherical flower heads get taller and larger as the flowers fully develop. Flowers come in white, pink, mauve, blue and rosy-red atop 12" stems. Leaves are light green and form a rosette near the ground. This primula grows best in a moist location and if it gets enough water the leaves will stay green all summer. In drier locations the leaves will die back by mid-summer and the plant goes dormant until next spring. 8-12", Z3-8.
