Pulsatilla patens, commonly known as the Eastern Pasqueflower, is a captivating perennial that brings an early splash of color to rock gardens. This striking plant features silky, finely divided foliage and bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring. The blossoms, typically violet to lavender, are adorned with golden stamens, creating a vibrant contrast that is sure to catch the eye. The blooms are followed by fluffy seed heads that add an interesting texture to the garden as they mature.
Native Range: Pulsatilla patens is native to the prairies, steppes, and open woodlands of North America, particularly found in regions extending from Alaska through Canada and into the northern United States, including states like Minnesota, Montana, and the Dakotas. It also grows in parts of Europe and Asia, thriving in well-drained soils and sunny locations.
