Alpine pasque flower (Pulsatilla alpina) is a stunning mountain wildflower producing large white to pale violet blooms in spring, followed by feathery seed heads. It thrives in sharply drained, alkaline to neutral rocky or gravelly soils in full sun to partial shade, replicating alpine meadow conditions. Avoid moving it once established, as it dislikes root disturbance, and keep soil lean rather than rich for best flowering.
