{"product_id":"black-pasque-flower-pu2110","title":"Black Pasque Flower Seeds, Black Anemone, Pulsatilla Pratensis Nigricans, PU2110","description":"Black Anemone Seeds (Pulsatilla pratensis nigricans)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdd a little midnight drama to your spring garden with Black Anemone, also known as Black Pasque Flower, one of the darkest blooms you can grow. Nodding, bell shaped flowers open in deep burgundy, purple and near black, wrapped in a silky, silvery fuzz that catches the light on every stem. Because these are grown from seed, shades vary a bit, with some blooms leaning burgundy or violet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the first flowers to appear in early spring, the blooms rise above soft, feathery, fern like foliage that stays attractive well into summer. When flowering ends, silvery, plume like seed heads take over for a second round of beauty. Native to meadows and grasslands from Norway across central Europe, this tough little perennial stays compact at about 8 to 12 inches tall, making it perfect for rock gardens, borders, troughs and gravelly slopes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Anemone loves full sun and sharp drainage and is drought tolerant once established. Deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone. Like all members of the buttercup family, the sap can irritate skin and the plant is toxic if eaten, so wear gloves when handling and keep it away from pets and children. Hardy in zones 3 to 8, it prefers cool summers and can struggle in long, hot, humid ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs always, every seed we offer is 100% non GMO. Whether heirloom, open pollinated, or hybrid, our seeds are never lab altered or genetically modified, just real seeds bred the traditional way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003cbr\u003eSow outdoors in fall and let winter do the work for spring germination, or start indoors about 8 weeks before your last frost. Sow on the surface of a good seed starting mix and do not cover. Keep moist with light at about 68°F. If nothing sprouts in 2 weeks, seal the tray in a ziploc bag and place it in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 weeks, then return it to warmth, where seeds typically sprout in 3 to 4 weeks. Black Anemone has a long taproot and dislikes being moved, so transplant while seedlings are small and choose its permanent spot carefully. Space plants 8 to 12 inches apart in full sun and well drained soil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerennial zones 3-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e10 Seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe combine shipping on all seed orders, you pay one flat fee for as many seeds as you would like for no additional shipping.
