Trollius (Globeflower)
at Digging Dog
Including Trollius varieties Golden Queen, Cheddar, and Superbus
Trollius
Globeflower
Gracing gardens since the 16th century, these marvelous yellow-hued blooms inspired their name, which translates to “basin” in Latin or “globe” in German. Globeflowers are undemanding perennials that look best en masse and are the perfect choice for the waters’ edge, a boggy spot, or the border, given a moisture retentive, organic-rich soil and shelter from hot sun.
A sterling addition to bouquets, the Buttercup-like blossoms perch on straight stems above handsome, deeply divided glossy leaves and promise a long summer fling with regular deadheading. Trollius chinensis ‘Golden Queen’ 
Bearing a crown of 12 or more narrow vertical petals surrounded by an outer ring of cupped soft orange sepals, this Trollius is known as the “Queen of the Buttercups.” Gleaming dark green leaves—serrated, toothed and finely cut—meld a vigorous basal clump that launches the sturdy 3 ft. tall flowering stems in no need of staking.
Blooms June–July. Size: 2'–2-1/2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4.

Trollius europaeus ‘Superbus’
Composed of overlapping, incurved petals bathed in cool lemon-yellows, beautiful globes gracefully alight foot long olive-green stems. A polished foliar mass grounds the bounteous one to two in. blooms. Maintaining a fresh look even when exposed to drier conditions, the large richly green leaves are rounded and divided into 5 parts with each lobed leaflet emargined by prominent teeth.
Blooms June–July. Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Trollius europaeus Superbus (P-1412)
Each $7.00

Trollius x cultorum ‘Cheddar’
Pale yellow, tissue-like petals fashion an exquisite, nearly double, shallow open cup. Casting a soft feminine mood on the May garden, the sumptuous blooms pose above an attractive mound of shiny foliage carved into small sections. A Dutch introduction, ‘Cheddar’ deserves to find its way into more gardens, where it will flourish in damp open sites matched with companions such as Sanguisorba obtusa or Geranium sinense (PPAF).
Blooms June–July. Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. AVAILABLE APRIL 2008 Trollius x cultorum Cheddar (P-1411)
Each $9.50
