Trollius 'Earliest of All' - 2026

Trollius ‘Earliest of All’ is one of the first globeflowers to bloom, bringing bright yellow colour into the garden in spring. It forms sturdy clumps of palmately lobed green leaves with erect stems that carry large, bowl-shaped yellow flowers. Because it flowers earlier than many other Trollius cultivars, it provides welcome early season interest when many other perennials have yet to flower. The blooms stand well above the foliage and are often used for cutting or accenting moist garden spots.

This plant is ideal for moist, rich soil that stays reliably damp, such as in bog gardens, near pond margins, or in moisture-retentive perennial beds. It prefers full sun to partial shade, especially in cooler or more temperate climates to kick-start its bloom. Though deciduous, it has good cold hardiness. Deadheading spent blooms helps maintain a tidier appearance and may encourage a second flush of flowering in favourable conditions. Overall, its early flowering habit and robust form make it a valuable addition to gardens seeking early spring colour and ecological value.
