PRIMULA DENTICULATA - DRUMSTICK OR POMPOM PRIMULAS

I've always been a fan of simple yellow primroses which look so natural to me, and I've always scorned the colourful primulas which can seem too gaudy in a garden border, but there is something so special and eye-catching about the denticulata variety which a neighbour grows.  Had to have some.  So I've bought three colours which I shall probably grow in partial shade. They are hardy and perennial.

Primula denticulata - white 24/04/2016

The label says that primula denticulata (drumstick primula) is a delightful plant, ideal for planting in rock gardens, or by water.  They form neat rosettes of pale green leaves and bear dense round heads of typical primula flowers on strong stems in spring.  They need rich moist soil in sun or partial shade, and flower from mid spring to summer.  They achieve a height of 30cm (12in) and a spread of 25cm (10in).  Keep moist and apply an annual dressing of peat.
