    This is Pulsatilla grandis, a lovely Lilac coloured European Pulsatilla. The seed for this one was collected in Austria.

        It would be dead in my care though!
        I will make a more concerted effort with them when I move.

          Very pretty and I wish I would be able to grow it, but it does require very well drained and limy soil? so not for me, on Devon clay!
