Laravel: How to insert an item in Select which is pre populated with records?

I am using Laravel 5.1. In form I am generating drop down as:

{!! Form::select('ptype', $p_types,null,['class' => 'form-control text-capitalize']) !!}

While in controller $p_types is set as:

$p_types = PType::lists('name', 'id');

I want to show an option as Select here on top of drop down. How do I do tat?
