Quick Guide

  • Deep red flowers with golden centres
  • Blooms in early spring
  • Silvery-green foliage with decorative seed heads

Pulsatilla 'Pin Dark Red', also known as the Dark Red Pasque Flower, is a striking perennial that heralds the arrival of spring with its deep red flowers, each centred with a golden corona. This captivating variety stands out in early spring, creating a dramatic display against the backdrop of its silvery-green, hairy foliage. Following the bloom, the plant produces unique, fluffy seed heads that add enduring interest to the garden.

Reaching a modest height of 20-30cm, 'Pin Dark Red' is ideally suited to rock gardens, alpine beds, or the front of borders, where its vibrant blooms can be fully appreciated. Its compact growth habit and drought tolerance once established make it a favoured choice for gardeners looking to add colour and texture with minimal maintenance.

Plant Care Guide

Pulsatilla 'Pin Dark Red' thrives in well-drained, alkaline to neutral soil and prefers a full sun location. It requires minimal watering once established, making it suitable for drought-prone areas. Annual mulching can help protect the roots over winter and retain soil moisture. Though generally low maintenance, protection from slugs during early growth stages is advisable. No complex pruning is required; simply enjoy the natural beauty of this perennial's foliage and seed heads throughout the season.
