notes
Perfect for sunny border, alpine garden or rock bed, the perennial, Pulsatilla Rote Glocke, (Red Clock) is clump forming, low growing and notable for its bell-shaped crimson flowers with contrasting golden stamens. This Pasque flower (originates from the word ‘paschal' which means 'of Easter' due to its propensity to flower around this time) opens facing down but will turn to lift its face to the sun. The flowers are followed by silky seedheads, like those of the clematis.
