The Greater Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris), also known as the European Pasque Flower, is a beautiful and delicate perennial herbaceous plant native to meadows and grasslands of central and western Europe. Revered for its charming, bell-shaped flowers and silken, fern-like foliage, this spring bloomer is not only an ornamental garden favorite but also carries a rich history of cultural and medicinal significance. The name “Pasque” comes from the Old French word for Easter, as the plant tends to bloom around that time of year. The Greater Pasque Flower is a timeless addition to the spring garden, offering early color, unique texture, and ecological benefits. Though it requires a bit more attention to start from seed, it rewards the patient gardener with years of beautiful blooms and elegant foliage. Whether tucked into a rock garden, meadow, or border, Pulsatilla vulgaris is a lovely, low-maintenance perennial that signals the joyful return of spring.

Pro Tip

Avoid overwatering—Pasque flowers dislike wet feet! Plant them in elevated beds or slopes if drainage is a concern. Incorporating gravel or sand into the soil can significantly improve root health and longevity.

Getting to know your The Greater Pasque Flower

The Greater Pasque Flower is a low-growing perennial with an upright clumping habit. It emerges in early spring, with fine, dissected, gray-green foliage that resembles delicate ferns. The plant remains compact and forms a tidy mound of foliage that continues to provide interest even after the flowering season is over.

Each plant produces 1 to 3 nodding, bell-shaped flowers on soft, fuzzy stems. The blooms, which appear in early spring, are typically deep purple but can also range from lavender to bluish hues, with a central yellow eye comprised of vibrant stamens. As the flowers fade, they are followed by decorative, silky seed heads that look like tufts of feathery plumes—another attractive feature of this plant.

We do not sell genetically modified seeds — ever. And we don’t use genetic engineering to breed new varieties. Instead, our skilled breeders use traditional, natural crossing methods to create hybrid seeds that are healthy, safe, and packed with potential.

Types of Seeds We Offer

Hybrid Seeds (F1)

F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.

Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds

Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.

Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.

Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.

At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.

When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
