(P) to 12″. Pasque Flower. A captivating British native. Anemone-like flowers are composed of purple tepals that surround a mass of golden yellow stamens which in turn frame the central cluster of purple pistils. Flowers are followed by equally attractive seedheads reminiscent of most Clematis. The entire plant is covered in long, silvery, silky hairs which make the plant shimmer when the sun catches it. Deep divided, light green, silky basal leaves are good-looking throughout the season. Grows best in a cool climate in well-drained soil. Full sun to partial shade. 3 & T2 & ∆
*Tip: If germination does not occur after 3-4 weeks, place seed pans in a cool location (about 40°) for 2-4 weeks
