How to care for Pulsatilla vulgaris:
Plant in a sunny spot with sharply drained soil, setting it in firmly and watering once to help it settle. Avoid disturbing the roots when weeding or reworking the border, as they dislike being moved, and add a light mulch of gravel or coarse grit to keep the crown dry.
After flowering, let the foliage die back naturally and remove old growth in late winter to make room for fresh shoots.

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
