Primula ‘Capitata’ produces tight globes of indigo‑violet flowers above silver‑dusted foliage. These 3 garden‑ready plug plants offer a unique Primula form ideal for moist borders, shaded beds, rock gardens and alpine‑style planting.

Primula ‘Capitata’ — the striking Round‑Headed Primrose — is a rare and unusual Primula species forming tight, spherical clusters of indigo‑violet flowers above a rosette of silver‑green, sugar‑dusted foliage. Flowering from late spring into early summer, it brings a distinctive Alpine character and a rich, jewel‑tone colour that stands out in any planting scheme.

This Primula thrives in moist but free‑draining soil, performing beautifully in sheltered borders, woodland edges, damp beds, or near water. It’s also excellent for rock gardens, alpine troughs, and containers, where its compact, frosted look shines.

Your order includes 3 × 5cm garden‑ready plug plants, ideal for planting out straight away in moist conditions, or potting on to build a stronger root system before planting.
