Pasque-flower
Species: Palsatilla vulgaris.
(Formerly Anemone pulsatilla) This spring-flowering species produces crocus-like flowers covered in soft down, in shades of lilac to violet-purple. The seed heads that follow are soft feathery tufts or plumes. A wonderful rock garden plant, with a long season of interest. Also useful for border edging or wildflower meadows.
