Prairie Crocus
Pulsatilla vulgaris
Prairie Crocus is an early spring perennial valued for its nodding, bell-shaped flowers in shades of purple, red, or white, which are followed by feathery seed heads and finely divided, silky foliage.
About Prairie Crocus and growing it in Alberta
Compact and low-growing, it adds charm to rock gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. Thriving in full sun with well-drained, often alkaline or sandy soils, it is drought tolerant once established, deer resilient, and low-input. Overly wet conditions may cause root rot, but its early blooms make it a standout in spring garden displays.
