Zone: 3GOLDEN QUEEN GLOBEFLOWER
Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' is a vibrant, showy cultivar of the Globeflower, highly valued for its large, bowl-shaped, semi-double blooms in a striking shade of deep golden-orange. These glowing flowers appear from late spring into early summer, sitting atop sturdy stems that rise above a lush, clumping mound of deeply divided, dark green foliage. The brilliant color of the petals provides a bold, warm contrast in the garden, making it an excellent choice for damp borders, woodland edges, or areas near water features where it can truly shine.
As a hardy perennial in USDA Zones 3-7, 'Golden Queen' is well-suited for many landscapes and will return reliably each year. Like other Trollius, its primary requirement for success is consistent moisture; it thrives in soil that stays damp and rich in organic matter. While it can handle full sun in cooler regions, it performs best with part shade, especially in the afternoon, to prevent the soil from drying out and to keep the foliage looking fresh. If you provide it with a reliably moist spot, it will remain a long-lived and beautiful addition to your shade or moisture-loving plant collection.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these practices: Plant in rich, fertile soil that retains moisture - Trollius do not like to dry out. Aim for a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Keep the soil consistently damp, especially during the growing season, but avoid standing water. Provide a location with part shade; in warmer climates like Ohio, afternoon shade is essential to protect the foliage and prolong the bloom.
