Known commonly as wind flower, or pasque flower, pulsatilla is a spring flowering plant closely related, and sometimes confused with anemones. There still seems to be some confusion regarding this plant's classification even amongst botanists. There are roughly 30 species from N. America and mostly Eurasia that generally grow in fertile, very well drained and calciferous soil. The foliage is fuzzy, fern-like and delicately cut. Each stem is silver-gray and fuzzy and rises in early spring to produce a single nodding flower with colorful sepals. The root system can go down 3 ft. making very drought tolerant, but difficult to move. After flowering a fluffy seed head forms that can persist for months. Needs a sunny location and good drainage.
P. vulgaris - Clumping and long lived. The species form of the European native. Flowers in shades of purple, sometimes white.
P. vulgaris ‘Red Bells’ - Deep red flowers.
P. vulgaris ‘White bells’ - Large white flowers. Sold in deep 3” pot.
P. vulgaris species and ‘Red Bells’ available in two sizes.
