Plant of the Day

Saturday 22 March 2014


Pulsatilla vulgaris ‘Alba’, the pasqueflower, grows wild in some places in England but here it grows between my deck and the lawn in a dry sunny location. The wonderful flowers (normally purple in the species) are followed by beautiful silky seed heads. The flowers are actual made up of sepals rather than petals. A low growing delicate perennial reaching only 20cm in height and forming a clump of finely dissected basal leaves.
