Paraquilegia anemonoides

Grow outdoors in poor, sharply drained, alkaline soil in a scree bed or trough in full sun, and protect from winter wet; in an alpine house, grow in a mix of equal parts loam, leaf mould, and grit; they grow best in climates with cool summers and cold, dry winters, and they may be difficult to establish

No pruning required

Propagate by seed, sown fresh, as soon as ripe in autumn, in containers in an open frame

May be affected by slugs and snails, and under glass by aphids and glasshouse red spider mite

Generally disease-free
