Pulsatilla patens
European Pasque-flower |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.450.410
(Formerly Anemone patens) This spring-flowering species produces crocus-like flowers of deep violet blue, with a tuft of yellow in the center. The seed heads that follow are soft feathery plumes. Scatter these around, to encourage self-seeding to occur. A wonderful rock garden plant, with a long season of interest. Also useful for border edging or wildflower meadows, and plants will often naturalize in a delightful way. Drought tolerant, once established. Plants may be divided in early fall, if desired. This is the European form of our North American native Prairie Crocus.
