The bold blooms of this upright and robust primula command attention in spring gardens with their plentiful white flowers with dramatic dark yellow centres. This evergreen perennial forms neat rosettes of dark green, oval leaves. Living up to its name, 'Showstopper White' provides a blousy, theatrical floral display that pairs perfectly with spring bulbs. Tough and weather resistant, these primroses thrive in borders or containers, lightly scenting the air and promising a hardy yet glamorous spring spectacle.
Plant out in a partially shaded and sheltered 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.
