Also known as Prairie Crocus, Pasque Flower is one of the first flowers to bloom in northern prairies and gardens. It often flowers in late April—well before most plants have even emerged from dormancy.
Because it blooms so early, Pasque Flower is valuable for extending the garden season and providing early nectar for pollinators. The silky foliage and puffy seed heads remain attractive after flowering and add texture to spring plantings.
Pasque Flower grows well in sunny prairie gardens with dry to medium soils. It looks good with other early prairie plants such as Prairie Smoke, Prairie Phlox, and Pussytoes that flower while the rest of the garden is just beginning to grow.
Our Pasque Flowers are grown from seed that has been collected in Minnesota prairies. Be aware: many nurseries offer the maroon European Pasque Flower, or a different Pasque Flower species from the western US.
Perennial
Sun: Full Sun, Part Shade
Moisture: Dry
Height: 6 inches
Blooms: April, May
Color: Whitish-purple
Spacing: 10″
Spreads: Doesn’t spread much
Zones: 3-6

Pasque Flower is very short and can be easily out-competed by more aggressive plants, so plant it with other short, conservative plants or keep it towards garden borders. Trimming or burning the garden in fall or late winter gives room for Pasque Flower (Anemone patens) to grow the next spring.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
