Alpine Pasque Flower, Alpine Pasqueflower, Alpine Anemone
Pulsatilla alpina (Alpine Pasque Flower) is a tufted perennial boasting upright or nodding, cup-shaped, solitary, white (sometimes blue or pink flushed) flowers, 2-3 in. across (4-6 cm), on short stems in spring and early summer. The attractive blossoms contrast beautifully with the luminous boss of golden yellow stamens. They are followed by equally ornamental, huge feathery seed heads, which add to the charm of the plant. The ferny, silky basal foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season. Pasque Flowers will seed themselves all over, if you are lucky, then go summer dormant. Enjoying a long season of interest, these low growing plants are suitable for rock gardens or the front of the perennial border. They combine well with spring-flowering bulbs and ground covers.
