Primula japonica ‘Alba’ displays elegant tiers of pure white flowers with warm honey‑yellow centres above matt green foliage. These 5 garden‑ready plug plants thrive in moist borders, woodland gardens and near water features, adding brightness to spring and early summer planting schemes.

Primula japonica ‘Alba’ is a refined and graceful white candelabra primrose, producing upright tiers of pure white petals with glowing honey‑yellow centres. Flowering from late spring into early summer, it adds clean, luminous colour to damp, semi‑shaded areas of the garden.

This variety thrives in moist, humus‑rich soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens, streamside plantings, pond edges, and damp borders. Despite its preference for moisture, it also grows well in containers, where its elegant flower whorls stand tall above structured matt‑green foliage.

Your order includes 5 × 5cm garden‑ready plug plants. These can be planted straight into damp soil or potted on until you’re ready to plant out. Once established, Primula japonica ‘Alba’ will return reliably each spring, often forming impressive clumps over time.
