Pulsatilla patens
The Eastern Pasqueflower. Large, upward-facing, lavender-lilac flowers, emerge on soft, silvery stems, often before the finely divided, fern-like foliage fully develops. As the flowers fade, they are replaced by distinctive, feathery seed heads that add continued interest well into summer. This hardy, low-growing plant thrives in well-drained conditions and is perfect for rock gardens, alpine plantings, or naturalistic meadow-style borders.
Height & Spread: Reaches around 20-30cm in height with a spread of approximately 30cm.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soils; tolerates poor soil conditions.
Position: Best in full sun; ideal for rock gardens, dry borders, and naturalistic plantings.
Flowering Time: Spring
