Trollius europaeus
Also Known As - common European globeflowerGlobe flower (Trollius europaeus) is an attractive perennial wildflower native to Europe, Asia and North America. It produces bright yellow flower heads on tall stems from late spring into mid-summer, and the attractive, cupped flowers are made up of deeply divided petals. It has light green, deeply cut foliage which remains attractive in the summer months until the flowers start to wither. Globe flower grows best in moist, humus-rich soils in sun or partial shade, although it is tolerant of poorer soils. It’s an easy plant to grow and needs little maintenance, making it a great choice for cottage gardens or naturalized areas.

watering
When watering Globe Flower (Trollius europaeus), be sure to provide enough water to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Water the plant well when the soil becomes dry to a depth of 2-3 inches. Depending on the weather and season, it may need to be watered once a week or more often. During a long dry period, the plant will likely need more frequent irrigation. To avoid foliar disease, water in the morning so the foliage has time to dry during the day. On hot summer days, it may also help to give Globe Flower a light misting.
sunlight
The globe flower (Trollius europaeus) is a perennial flower that thrives in full sun and prefers moist soil. It is suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 8. For optimal growth, globe flower plants should be placed in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They can also tolerate some partial shade, provided they receive a minimum of 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. During periods of extreme heat or drought, however, globe flowers may benefit from some afternoon shade. Globe flowers bloom best when exposed to direct sunlight for most of the day, from late spring through early fall. In northern climates, direct sunlight may not be strong enough during the winter to allow globe flowers to bloom. In addition, globe flowers need regular watering throughout the growing season to keep the soil moist, but avoid soil that is soggy or overly wet.
pruning
Globe flowers (Trollius europaeus) should be pruned once a year, typically in early spring before new growth emerges. This ensures the best possible flower production and helps direct new growth in the desired direction. Pruning should be done with sharp pruners and can involve removing any dead or damaged stems, as well as selectively shaping, shortening, and thinning out growth to encourage a more attractive shape and denser flower production. When pruning, aim to remove no more than 1-third of the total plant canopy. During the growing season, deadheading (removing spent flowers) may be necessary to promote further blooming.
