Trollius pumilus | dwarf globe flower

Globe flowers live up to their common name with large globe-shaped flowers that resemble giant double buttercups. They are native to boggy area, but are easy to grow in any garden soil as long as they do not dry out.

Dwarf globe flower is a cutie! It grows to only a third the size of its family members and is happy in a wider range of conditions. Buttercup yellow flowers are held over finely divided, glossy-green leaves.

Note: These are young plants. Please expect only moderate flowering this year - they will come into their own the second year.
