Trollius, commonly known as Globe Flower, is a real spring-to-early-summer delight, loved for its bold, buttercup-like blooms that form rounded “globes” in glowing shades of golden yellow to soft orange. It’s perfect for adding a bright lift to the garden at a time when fresh colour is especially welcome, and its upright stems make it a brilliant border plant with a lovely, natural look.
Unlike many sun-lovers, Trollius is happiest in moist, fertile soil and is ideal for planting near ponds, streams, or in damp areas of the border where other plants can struggle. It’s also great for pollinators, bringing in bees as the season gets going. If you’ve got a spot that stays reliably moist, Trollius will reward you with an eye-catching, long-lasting display year after year.
