This Trollius is a compact form that stands at about half the height of the species. It forms a tidy compact clump of attractively lobed, dark green, toothed leaves.
Plump, rounded, yellow buds open to bright lemon yellow, bowl-shaped blossoms. This is a spring blooming species that often reblooms in the fall.
Though T. europaeus tends to be more tolerant of drier soils than most other types of Trollius, it will perform better in average to moist soil.
Trollius is a wonderful addition to any sunny or partially shaded, moist area such as the edges of ponds or streams.
