These beauties are Pasque Flowers and they are in bloom now! A native hybrid seen often in the forests around Peterson. Pasque flower blooms for 4 to 6 weeks in spring with fuzzy flower buds that open to 1.5-inch-wide purple flowers that dance in the breeze. Fuzzy, feathery seedheads take up the dance when the blooms end. By then, the felted leaves have pushed up to produce a lacy gray-green backdrop. Noteworthy characteristics: Long blooming period in spring. Beautiful flowers and interesting seedheads. Self-sowing yields smaller plants that can be moved; mature plants have long taproots and resent transplanting. Care: Prefers full sun and well-drained, neutral or alkaline
