I'm very disappointed in the lack of flowers on my Pulsatillas this year. Is there anything I can do?

[johnralphcarpenter]

The seeds from the seed exchange are germinating nicely using the Bondareva method.

Thanks Chris.

I should point out there was only one flower last year and only one this year. When it opens I'll take some more

My open pollinated Pulsatilla pratensis bohemica flower is now open. Its not as red as last year nor as dark as the parent plant. Is it just a natural colour variation?
