Happy Easter everyone!
These are such a fun plant to grow, and due to the loss of shortgrass prairie ecosystems, the population of Pulsatilla patens, or Pasque Flower, is declining. Growing some in our yards can help support the native insects that rely on them.

Blooming early makes it a nice addition of color to somewhat drab, early native landscapes.
The Pasque Flowers common name is derived from the Hebrew word for Passover, "pasakh", and refers to it's Easter flowering period.
I hope you have a blessed week!
