Poor condition upon delivery. All my young plants never emerged from the ground. Too fragile as a plant.

Description
Trollius pumilus, also known as the Dwarf Globeflower, is a lovely compact perennial known for its adaptability, hardiness, and generous and bright flowering resembling buttercups.
Trollius pumilus belongs to the family of renonculaceae, which includes about 25 species native to the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere (Himalayas, eastern Tibet, and China), where they thrive near watercourses.
This perennial makes an excellent ground cover plant as it forms a solid compact clump that does not exceed 15cm (6in) in height and reaches about 20cm (8in) in width. It also serves as an accent plant due to the richness and intensity of its flowering. As spring arrives (May and June), its flowers with single petals and abundant stamens are adorned with warm colours (lemon yellow, sometimes orange), which contrast with its tiny yet delicate foliage that is round and divided into 4 to 5 lobes.
Trollius pumilus prefers fertile and humus-rich soils, even muddy ones, and a sunny or slightly shaded exposure. An amendment in March-April will stimulate its flowering, and summer pruning may potentially induce a second flush of flowering.
It will therefore find its place neatly within a rockery or on the edges of a bank alongside plants that share similar growing conditions. Its small size makes it the ideal companion for small gardens.
We recommend combining this perennial with a collection of plants with remarkable foliage and white flowers to create a chic and rustic scene. We suggest placing gunnera tinctoria as a backdrop, followed by rodgersias and, why not, an itea virginica little Henry that you can awaken with arums and irises. You can dress their base with spreading trollius pumilus in large swathes.

Planting and care
These "buttercups", like wild buttercups, enjoy having their feet in the mud and their heads in the sun. It is there, in the marshy no man's land that separates water from land, that they thrive happily. However, as they are good-natured, they also can grow in any good garden soil that is not too dry, in the sun or in semi-shade. Pruning the clumps after flowering sometimes promotes the resurgence of flowers towards the end of the season, but this is not always observed.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
