Trollius – Globe Flower

Improved varieties have orange, gold, orange-red and lemon-colored flowers, often double.

They grow about l feet tall and bloom throughout the Summer, starting in late May.

UTILIZE.
The Globe Flower flourishes, both in sun and shade and is especially at home in borders in which the soil is a trifle too damp for other plants. They are showy border plants, their neat habit and compact flowers commend them to all. We must add that they grow nicely in the ordinary garden soil, even though it be away from the waterside.

PROPAGATION.
