Trollius Cheddar (Globeflower)

Trollius 'Cheddar' brings soft, creamy colour to the garden in late spring and early summer. Its semi-double, cup-shaped flowers are a delicate buttery yellow, held above a mound of glossy, deeply divided dark green foliage.

A lovely alternative to the brighter yellow and orange globeflowers, 'Cheddar' works particularly well in cottage gardens, along pond edges and in moist borders. The flowers combine beautifully with blues, purples and other pastel shades.
