PASQUE FLOWER, WHITE ANEMONE, PRAIRIE CROCUS
SKU: 1585-010
Also called a Prairie Crocus, Pasque Flower is native to Canada and the USA. It bursts into bloom about a month earlier than most other native spring flowers, making it one of the earliest prairie plants to blossom. Its cold hardiness allows it to thrive as far north as the state of Alaska. Produces delicate-looking white blooms, followed by fluffy seed-heads. "Pasque," which means "passion," refers to the plant's habit of blooming around the time of Easter. Its unusual flowers, which resemble European crocuses, caused early European immigrants to give it the common name of prairie crocus. Once established, pasque flower plants can live for 50 years with more blossoms in each year of growth.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 20cm, 8"
Location: Sun or part shade
Hardiness zones: 1-8
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 10
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-90 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
