trollius_x_cultorum.jpg Trollius x cultorum 'Lemon Queen' is an attractive cultivar with pale yellow bowl shaped flowers above finely divided toothed leaves.
trollius_europaeus2.jpg Trollius europaeus SDR5473 makes clumps of tall stems, with deeply divided leaves, and almost perfectly spherical, lemony yellow flowers on tall stems. Excellent in the garden, so long as the driest locations are avoided.
trollius_europaeus4.jpg Trollius europaeus SDR6306 is an excellent plant, good for a herbaeous border (if it is not too dry) or a bog garden. The globular, buttercup-yellow flowers are freely produced on tall stems.
trollius_ircuticus.jpg Trollius ircuticus is a good tall plant for a pond edge or bog garden. On tall stems it produces rounded, bowl-shaped orange flowers with a ring of conspicuous stamens.
