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.
Primula ‘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.

For use as winter/spring bedding plants, plant primulas into fresh, free-draining compost and position pots and baskets in a bright, sheltered spot, avoiding harsh midday sun. Water well after planting, keep the compost just moist through winter, remove faded flowers regularly, and protect containers from prolonged hard frost to keep plants tidy and flowering well.
Alternatively, plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered position, adding position, adding plenty of leaf mould and compost to the planting hole and backfill. Water well until established.
Divide large clumps in late spring or early summer after the plant has flowered, preferably during a wet spell.
