But will it be what it says on the tin :P I've had it a few times from the Exchanges and it's been wrong every time, hope you're lucky Shelagh.

I have never succeeded in germinating P. occidentalis, even though I have collected the seeds myself on our local mountaintops.  Shelagh, how did you germinate it?  Outdoors in the cold?

Gene all our seed pots go into the unheated garage till they germinate.  It has been freezing or thereabouts for 2 weeks.

David how long before I know if it's right or not?

Shelagh, my last attempt is chronicled in these pages, have a look at the Pulsatilla 2014 thread from Reply 92
http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=11144.msg309945#msg309945

 and also under the Plant Identification and Questions threads "Pulsatilla occidentalis NOT " from A|ugust 1 2014.   http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12125.msg310040#msg310040

If your seed came from LoriS it will certainly be true.

Pleased with the progress of these P. florindae seedlings and the fact that our new garden has a couple of relatively sheltered and moist spots where they may do ok.
