Description

This pretty primrose owes its nickname "Snowball" to its spherical flower heads.

This species has dark green leaves with lighter undersides in the shape of finely serrated strips.

Perched on sturdy stems, they are made up of a multitude of small, white, serrated flowers. Combine with Siberian Scilla for a lovely contrast.
