Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Red Bells' | Red Bells Pasque Flower

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Pulsatilla vulgaris ‘Red Bells’ forms soft mounds of finely cut, silky green foliage that emerges in early spring, each leaf divided into narrow segments with a delicate texture. Soon after, nodding bell shaped flowers in deep wine red to burgundy rise above the leaves, their centers filled with golden stamens and surrounded by fine hairs that catch the light during mid to late spring bloom.

Native to open meadows and limestone slopes of central and western Europe, the species has long been valued in alpine and rock gardens. ‘Red Bells’ lends itself to gravel beds, raised plantings, and sunny borders, where its early flowers and ornamental seed heads provide seasonal interest.
