ORANGE GLOBE FLOWER
- Unit price
- / per
Trollius is closely related to Ranunculus. The common name of some species is globeflower or globe flower. Trollius usually grow in heavy, wet clay soils.
They have bright orange-yellow flowers. They are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species of butterflies and moths.
Some species are popular ornamental flowers in horticulture, with several cultivars selected for large and brightly colored flowers, and have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Type: Very hardy perennial
Height: 30", 75cm
Location: Full sun or part shade
Hardiness zones: 2-9
Seeds per packet: 10
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period for most seeds, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
