Here you go, Paul — Primula denticulata (Drumstick Primrose) in your Artisan Aquatics product‑template format, clean, copy‑ready, and consistent with the other Primula listings you’ve already published.

Description

Primula denticulata, known as the Drumstick Primrose, is a distinctive spring‑flowering perennial producing perfectly rounded spherical flowerheads in shades of lilac, pink, purple or white. These sit proudly above neat rosettes of fresh green leaves, bringing early‑season structure and colour to damp borders, pond edges and bog gardens. Compact, reliable and long‑lived, it’s one of the best primulas for cool, moisture‑retentive soil.
