like to have. That's why we keep lists. Our plant lists content information
about our tries at growing, general information on the plant and
photographs. |

Pasque Flower
Pulsatilla vulgaris
In the spring, the Pasque Flower is densely covered with white silky hairs that look like an old mans beard. The plant has a short stem with flowers that are cup shaped and 2 to 2 1/2 inches in size. The flowers have 5 to 8 pointed lavender sepals that resemble petals. Underneath the sepals it is very silky. As the plant matures the stem elongates to about 14". The flower grows heavy and droops downward. The Pasque Flower is just as beautiful in seed, as it is in bloom.

Shredded Umbrella Plant
Syneilesis aconitifolia
shade plant
In early spring, the white wooly leaves push through the ground like may apples...or more appropriately, like shredded umbrellas after a hurricane. The exquisite foliage flattens out atop 15" stems by mid-spring. Expect a decent-sized colony as the rhizomes slowly spread (2' wide in 5-7 years).
