White Primrose 100 Seeds Primula acaulis

Primula acaulis is a compact, evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial admired for its bright, cheerful flowers that appear in late winter and early spring, often when few other plants are in bloom. Commonly known as the common primrose, it forms a low rosette of soft, crinkled, spoon-shaped green leaves that have lightly toothed margins and a velvety texture, creating an attractive basal clump. The flowers emerge almost stemless from the center of the rosette, each consisting of five broad, rounded petals in shades of pale yellow, cream, pink, purple, red, or blue, often with contrasting eyes. Native to western and southern Europe, this primrose thrives in cool, moist, humus-rich soils and prefers partial shade, though it can tolerate gentle morning sun. Primula acaulis is well suited for woodland gardens, shaded borders, containers, and rock gardens, where it provides a reliable burst of color at a time of year when most plants are still dormant. Beyond its ornamental appeal, this species has a long history in folklore and traditional medicine, where it was sometimes associated with protection and used in mild herbal remedies. Its early blooms are also valuable to pollinators emerging in spring, making it both a beautiful and ecologically beneficial garden plant.
