Pulsatilla alpina, commonly known as the Alpine Pasqueflower, is a perennial plant in the family Ranunculaceae. It is native to subalpine and subarctic regions of Europe, thriving in mountainous areas. The plant is known for its beautiful, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in early spring. It undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Pulsatilla alpina requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant is best suited for outdoor growth in subalpine or subarctic climates.
