Primula Denticulata

Primula Denticulata var.alba

The white "drum stick" primula is suitable for any garden where the soil is neutral or acid and does not dry out in summer. It blooms from mid-spring through to summer. First scientifically recorded in 1804, it is commonly found in a fairly wide area of Asia from Afghanistan to Bhutan and into China. More recently spotted far far away form its Himalayan home, courtesy of my local garden centre, in a corner of county Wicklow, Ireland.
