‘Rubra’ Pasque Flower

Pulsatilla vulgaris ‘Rubra’ Up to 12" tall. Also known as Wind Flower. Frosty-green fuzzy flower stems often emerge when patches of snow are still on the ground.

Soon after, large open bell-shaped dusky burgundy flowers with golden-yellow stamens bloom as the finely cut furry ferny foliage begins to form. At bloom time flower stems are typically 4-5" tall but continue to grow after blooms have passed, eventually reaching heights of 9-12", with unique spherical clusters of feathery silvery seedheads.

Excellent choice for rock gardens and the front of the border. With proper care it will develop a deep extensive root system.

Plant 10" apart in full sun to part shade in rich seriously well-drained soil. Prefers not to be disturbed once established. Z4. (3½" plug stock)

Additional Information

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. If they are slightly dry, add a little water or, if they are going to be potted up soon, wet the roots. Generally, a little surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. If you cannot pot them up immediately, store them in a cool (35–40°) location for a short time.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors.

Pot up the rootstock using well-drained potting mix in a deep 6" pot or a 1-gallon container. Avoid coiling the roots in under-sized containers.
Grow newly potted perennials for a few weeks in a protected location in indirect light at 50–60°. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
Transplant outside once they show some top growth and the danger of frost has passed.
