Growing in clumps to 20 cm (7.9 in) tall and wide, this herbaceous perennial has hairy grey-green foliage, and in spring produces pink or purple flowers which form ornamental silky seedheads. It prefers an exposed, well-drained position in full sun. [3]

Anemone halleri is mildly toxic, and can cause stomach ache on skin contact.[3]

It is still widely referenced under its former name, Pulsatilla halleri. The species [3] and the subspecies P. halleri subsp. slavica are recipients of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
