A Package of Pulsatillas

[Palustris]

These are close ups of some of the clumps of Pulsatilla we have. You would not believe the number of self sown seedlings we have to weed out.

P. Papageno which is semi double and has fringed petals.

Pulsatilla grandis. This was grown from seed collected in Austria many years ago (not by me though). There was a really blue form of this called Budapest once upon a time.

A white form of P. Papageno, bought as P. grandis, but just as nice.

P. rubra. There are redder version of this.

Pulsatilla vulgaris pink form. This could be one called Eva Constance.

Send me some of your weeds Eric

What a fantastic collection in a wide range of colours, and very sharp and focused images! Congratulations on first class shots.
Are they outdoors or in your Alpine house Eric?

Ive lost mine all again!
Pulsatilla vulgaris is the only one Ive had any luck with. Rubra has lasted briefly, but Ive never managed to grow Alba, and I've bought quite a few over the years.

Any tips would be much appreciated. I can see that yours are in scree or perhaps in the alpine house. 
I plant mine in a south facing border in well drained soil. Soil too rich do you think?

[Palustris]

They are all outside. They do prefer a well drained , lime rich, poor soil.

Thanks for that Eric. I will do a ph test. I have a feeling my garden could do with some lime.
