globe flower

Overview

Trollius ledebourii, also known as globeflower, is a native Eurasian perennial plant. It has a yellow-orange flower head, measuring up to three inches in diameter, resembling a balloon-like globe. The leaves of the plant are covered in fine hairs and form a basal rosette. It is hard to cultivate, but in favorable conditions, it grows in moist to wet meadows and can spread in clumps with many beautiful yellow flower heads. It likes full to partial sunlight, and has a long blooming season from spring to autumn. It attracts pollinators, and is an ornamental choice for moist areas of the garden since it's deer resistant.
