Oh Eric, lovely!   ;D  I grew Pulsatilla vulgaris from seed last year and have them all in lovely little pots in my nursery area (sheltered bit down the side of my house  :-\).  How long do you think I will have to wait before they flower?

You may be lucky and get a flower on some of them this Summer, but more likely next Spring. Belive it or not they are a seed weed in this garden. And they come up all different colours, except really blue like P.grandis Budapest.
Have a yellow one too, but it has not yet set seed so cannot propagate it.
By the way they do not like root disturbance as they get older, so plant young.
