PLANT PROFILE: Pulsatilla vulgaris
Common Name: Pasque flower.
Likes a sunny position in well drained soil. This plants grows about 20cm tall and has a spread of 20cm. The pretty spring flowers are followed by fluffy seed-heads. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) in recogntition of its outstanding excellence. Pulsatilla takes a while to get established and does not like to be disturbed, so plant it in the right spot and leave alone. If happy, plants will self-seed, so leave the seedheads to allow colonies to build up.
