Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Pulsatilla
'Semi-Duplici'
semi-double pasqueflower
Our Pulsatilla 'Semi-Duplici' blend offers an exclusive selection of semi-double, large pasqueflowers that bursts into life in early spring with a delightful array of bell-shaped flowers in shades of purple, pink, and white. Each flower in this mixture is surrounded by a halo of soft, feathery foliage, adding texture and interest. As the blooms fade, they are replaced by silky seed heads that offer additional beauty and movement, making this plant a true delight throughout the seasons.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, pulsatillas are perfect for rock gardens, alpine beds, or sunny borders. Pulsatilla vulgaris flore semi-duplici prefer a position with good air circulation and can tolerate poorer soils, making them ideal for dry or stony ground. Pulsatilla 'Semi-Duplici' is also well-suited to naturalistic planting schemes, where its delicate blooms can thrive in a sunny, undisturbed spot.
The soft, pastel tones of Pulsatilla 'Semi-Duplici' make it an excellent companion for other early spring perennials such as primulas, anemones, and hellebores. For a contrast in form, plant with ornamental grasses or alongside tulips to create a dynamic and varied display. The semi-double-flowered Pulsatilla 'Semi-Duplici' is a magnet for bees and other early pollinators, providing a valuable nectar source in spring. This hardy perennial is low-maintenance and long-lived, gradually spreading to create a naturalised display over time. Its ability to withstand poor soils and dry conditions makes it an excellent choice for sustainable gardening, as it requires minimal care once established.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
