Primula Denticulata Deep Rose Plants (Set of 3 or 6)

Bring a burst of rich, deep rose-pink colour to your spring garden with this collection of three Primula denticulata Deep Rose plants. Commonly known as the Drumstick Primula, this much-loved hardy perennial produces distinctive globe-shaped flower heads held on sturdy, upright stems above neat rosettes of fresh green foliage. A reliable and easy-to-grow variety, Primula denticulata Deep Rose is perfect for adding early-season interest to borders, woodland gardens, cottage-style plantings, and containers.

Each plant is supplied as a well-established 1Ltr root-ball, ready for planting out into beds, borders, or patio pots. Once settled, these vigorous perennials will return year after year, forming attractive clumps that gradually spread over time. The spherical deep rose-pink blooms appear from early to mid-spring, providing a valuable nectar source for bees and other pollinators at a time when few other plants are in flower.
