Primula 'Elle'
primrose
A stunning, ‘bridal bouquet-esque’ early flowering primrose with fully double, whorled in bud, ivory-white flowers erupting from a rosette of tidy green foliage. ‘Elle’ captivates with its rose-unfurling elegance but looks are deceiving as this pretty primula is completely frost hardy and weather resistant, though would also make a glamorous interior pot plant or table centre decoration for a bright but indirectly lit spot.
How to care for Primula Elle:

This perennial is semi-evergreen so it can lose some of its leaves in winter. In colder regions or more exposed gardens, it may lose them all, but then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
