Eric, I think 'Eva Constance' is a bit deepr pink than yours. Yours is a most gorgeous "gentle" pink... and a darn nice plant too.

I have dug out a lot of seedlings from round the plant and potted them up. If they flower this colour I will isolate and pollinate to see if I can get a true seeding strain. Obviously anything now is going to be open pollinated.

That pink is a lovely one Eric. Well worth growing any seedlings. We have a strain here of P. vulgaris called 'Pink Denim,' and happily it comes true from seed. It is a light strawberry colour.

Hoy,
realy very beautiful. 8) I tryed to grow P. flavescens (Pulsatilla patens subsp. flavescens ) repeated times but after germination seedlings did not survive winter.

Any recommendations available?

Luc,
very nice white P. slavica!  8)
The seedlings I have got from your seed are behind in growth - still in bud stage.
I'm exited to see them soon - the first time in full flower.

Here is my P. pratensis ssp. nigricans raised from seed.
Many thanks to Kathrine for the seed. ;) ;D

Sorry, Armin, can't help you with this particular one but I have just overwintered several other seedlings of different Pulsatillas outside this winter without cover. They seem to do very well now, all of them are producing new leaves.

I have a couple of "Pulsatilla albana ssp albocyanea" seedex plants flowering for the first time. Small pure white flowers. Do think they will improve with age, this year or next. I would have thought any blue would have been obvious from the bud stage.

I'd have thought the blue would be evident from an early age, too, Brian.

There is a photo on Kirsten Andersen and Lars Hansen's website which shows how blue it can be:
