Pasque Flower
Botanical Name: Pulsatilla vulgaris


Description:
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.
