Pasqueflower is an awesome spring flower and rock garden plant; they come in a few different colors and this is the red variety. These small plants have fuzzy, ferny foliage and they bloom before it matures, so you have the appearance of a small plant about 2" tall and 3" wide with large 2" blooms! A species native to cold areas similar to where I live is Pulsatilla patens or prairie crocus, which blooms with lavender flowers before the snow melts. I plan to add that plant to my rock garden this year. In addition to the plant pictured here I have Pulsatilla vulgaris which has deep purple to maroon flowers; it appears that it will bloom this week.
