Description
The Pasque Flower is a poisonous and medicinal plant steeped in legend that, due to its decorative looks, can also be found in stone gardens more recently and act as a ground-cover plant and roof vegetation. It forms bell-shaped, purple blossoms that stand closely together, and also the pinnate foliage is beautiful to look at.
All plant parts are poisonous but they lose their toxic effect when being heated or dried. Pulsatilla is a significant homeopathic remedy that's used against the most diverse afflictions like headaches or the cataract.
The plant is slightly poisonous and skin-irritant in case of skin contact and shouldn't be planted into gardens where toddlers play.

Sowing and care
The seeds need cold to germinate. Therefore, either sow in autumn or stratify in the refrigerator in spring for 4 weeks. Pulsatilla is known for not germinating especially easily - not germinated seeds can be placed in nursery pots in the garden or on the cold terrace and they possibly germinate in the season of the next year.
The Pasque Flower is a typical stone garden plant for limy, nutrient-poor soils and dry locations. It is persistent and forms a deep root system. When it has settled a location, it spreads via these deep rooting rhizomes. Furthermore, it sows itself more and more as far as the seed stems aren't cut back in time.
