Trollius × cultorum 'Alabaster'
globeflower
Pale primrose-yellow, buttercup-like flowers are borne in mid- to late spring above deeply divided mid-green leaves. Less vigorous than most cultivars, Trollius × cultorum 'Alabaster' will thrive in full sun or partial shade if the roots do not dry out. Perfect for a moist border or the margins of a pond or stream.
How to care for Trollius × cultorum Alabaster:
Choose a location with moist or boggy soil. Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. For best results it is essential that the plants are kept well watered for the first year, particularly during warmer weather.
Lift and divide large clumps in late autumn or early spring. In spring apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plants and water in very dry weather, to prevent the soil from drying out.
