Description: 'Ronsdorf' is a selection of hybrid drumstick primulas that feature a mix of colors including a magenta pink, white, and light purple. Each flower has bright yellow center eyes. Looks fantastic when mixed with spring bulbs for a showy, early season display. The foliage has very small teeth along the margins and the undersides are covered in a dense layer of fine hairs. Upright flowering scapes reaching up to 1' tall emerge in early to mid-spring from the center of the rosettes bearing spherical heads of small flowers. The flowers can exhibit a range of colors including lavender, purple, pink, and white, all with a yellow center eye, and are suitable for use in fresh cut arrangements. Primula denticulata, commonly called drumstick primula, is a herbaceous perennial native to the Himalayas, where it can be found growing in moist, high altitude alpine meadows, grassy slopes, and forest openings at 5,000-13,000' above sea level. Mature plants can reach 1' tall with an equal spread. The oblong leaves can reach up to 6" long and 1.5" wide and form a basal rosette.The genus name Primula means "little earliest one" and is the feminine diminutive of the Latin primus. The specific epithet denticulata means "finely toothed" in reference to the margin of the foliage. The common name drumstick primula refers to the shape of the inflorescence of this species.
