Primula ‘Capitata’ forms a silver‑green rosette topped with a tight globe of indigo‑violet flowers. These 5 garden‑ready plug plants offer something truly unusual for spring displays and thrive in moist, sheltered borders or Alpine‑inspired plantings.

Primula ‘Capitata’, also known as the Round‑Headed Primrose, is a distinctive and rarely offered species prized for its halo of indigo‑violet flowers arranged tightly around a striking silver‑frosted globe. The flower heads sit above silver‑green, sugar‑dusted foliage, creating a look that is completely unique within the Primula family.

This unusual primrose thrives in moist, fertile soil and does particularly well in sheltered borders, damp beds, woodland edges, or near water. It also fits effortlessly into rock gardens, Alpine‑style plantings, and feature containers, offering texture and colour that stand out beautifully in spring and early summer.

If you enjoy Primulas — or simply want something you won’t see in every garden — this is a brilliant, characterful plant that performs well and rewards year after year.
