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 ‘Fireglobe’   

Touted as one of the deepest colored Trollius cultivars, ‘Fireglobe’ is set aglow with rich orange-yellow hues. Lavish layers of delicate, incurving petallike sepals describe large bowl-shaped flowers, which eventually open to reveal numerous showy stamens. A sure sign summer has arrived, its jaunty blooms are elevated above lustrous, deeply chiseled and narrow lobed greenery, while lending a cheerful grace note to fellow moisture-lovers, Astrantia ‘Moulin Rouge’ and Aruncus ‘Zweiweltenkind’.

Blooms June–July.

Size: 2-1/2'–2-3/4' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 3.

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 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 ‘Espresso’ .

Blooms June–July.

Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4.
