Pulsatilla vulgaris

Pulsatilla vulgaris, commonly known as Pasqueflower, bears nodding purple flowers with yellow centres in early spring. Finely divided, feathery, silvery-green foliage forms a clump beneath the flowers, which are followed by large, fluffy seedheads.

Grow it in full sun in well-drained soil, avoiding overly wet conditions. It is well suited to rockeries and gravel gardens.
