White Pasque Flower, White Pasqueflower, White Meadow Anemone, White Prairie Smoke
Pulsatilla vulgaris ‘Alba’ (White Pasque Flower) is a clump-forming perennial boasting large, bell-shaped, pure white flowers, up to 3 in. across (8 cm), on short stems in early spring. The attractive blossoms contrast beautifully with the luminous boss of golden yellow stamens. Nodding when they open, they gradually extend upwards to face the sun. They are followed by equally ornamental, plume-like seedheads (resembling those of clematis) in fluffy spherical clusters. The ferny, silky 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.
