Pasque flower is one of the first herbaceous perennials to bloom in spring. There are about 30 species in the genus Pulsatilla of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae) but the most common one planted in gardens is the European pasque flower, Pulsatilla vulgaris. Pulsatilla is closely related to the genus Anemone; P. vulgaris was once classified as A. pulsatilla and is still often listed under this name. Other common names include wind flower, meadow anemone, and Easter flower.
This low growing plant is suitable for rock gardens or the front of the perennial border.
Grow pasque flower in well-drained soil in full sun. It does not tolerate root disturbance well, but can be transplanted. Cut back all of the open flowers and large buds before moving; the plant should produce new growth and become lush and rebloom in about 4 weeks. Do not fertilize heavily. This species is quite drought tolerant once established. Unfortunately, deer like it so it may need protection in some areas.
Pasque flower is propagated by seed, root cuttings, or division. Sow seeds when ripe in situ or in small containers to later transplant when still small. Pasque flower may self-seed. One mature plant can be divided into 4 to 6 new plants.
