Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris) is a stunning spring-blooming perennial prized for its silky purple flowers and feathery seed heads that extend the season of interest. Plant it in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil in a sunny to lightly shaded spot and avoid overwatering or heavy clay. Once established it is quite hardy and requires minimal care, making it ideal for rock gardens and cottage-style borders.
