Narrow-leaf pasque-flower
The root leaves are twice-winged and have a long pattern and bunches. The leaflets further divide. Three leaves attached to the stem rotate and the base part is united and split into linear fragments. It is covered with long white hair such as leaves and flower stems. The height of the flower stalk is about 10 cm during the flowering period and 30 to 40 cm when the white fluff with the seeds after the flower is attached. The flowering period is spring and one dark red-purple flower is attached to the tip of the flower stem. It blooms in the middle of flowering but changes upward later. The petals look like six sepals that are 2 to 2.5 cm long and covered with white hair on the outside.

Water: Narrow-leaf pasque-flower thrives in dry grasslands, exhibiting drought tolerance and requiring minimal watering—about once a week. It needs well-draining soil to avoid root rot and more consistent moisture during active growth phases to support its herbaceous perennial nature.
Fertilize: For narrow-leaf pasque-flower, apply balanced fertilizers annually in early spring and high-phosphorus ones before blooming, following product instructions to avoid over-fertilization. Adjust amounts based on size and age, reduce during dormancy, and ensure caution to prevent root burn for optimal health and bloom quality.
Pruning: Narrow-leaf pasque-flower features nodding flowers and finely dissected leaves. Prune in early to late spring by cutting back old stems and deadheading for enhanced growth and blooming. Minimal pruning retains natural form, while regular thinning improves air circulation and reduces disease risk, promoting overall health.
Propagation: Narrow-leaf pasque-flower is a delicate herbaceous perennial that propagates well through semi-hardwood cuttings from healthy plants. Use a rooting hormone, well-draining soil, and maintain humidity for root growth. Moderate watering is essential, as oversaturation can cause rot. Roots may take weeks to establish.
