watering

Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Rote Glocke' RED CLOCK) should be watered once a week during the growing season and every 2 weeks when the plant is dormant. Water deeply at the lower sides of the root, saturating the soil but not over-watering so that it becomes soggy. More water is needed during periods of prolonged warm and dry weather. A good rule of thumb is to wait until the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry before watering again. Allow the excess water to drain away fully before returning the pot to its saucer.

sunlight

The pasque flower needs plenty of sunlight to thrive and is best suited for a location with full sun for at least 6 hours a day. To ensure optimal flowering, look for a south-facing window with plenty of sunlight throughout the day. It is advised to water the plants only when the soil is dry, and to water them evenly but sparingly. If the sun is too strong, then it is advised to provide the plants with some late afternoon or morning shade.

pruning

The pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Rote Glocke' RED CLOCK) should be pruned in late winter or early spring, once the threat of hard frost has passed. Prune the plant back to just above the basal rosette of leaves to encourage new shoots and reduce the size of the plant. Make sure to remove all dead, damaged, crowded, or otherwise undesirable growth. Prune faded flowers and remove any side shoots that have depleted their flower yield, as this will reduce the chances of disease and help direct energy to other parts of the plant.
