Trollius Cheddar (Globeflower)
Trollius 'Cheddar' (Cheddar Globeflower) brings a soft, buttery elegance to the late spring garden that's hard to match. Each stem carries semi-double, cup-shaped blooms in a pale creamy yellow, almost the color of a mild white cheddar, hence the name, rising above a lush mound of deeply divided, glossy dark green foliage. It's an understated showstopper: delicate in color, but sturdy and reliable in the garden. A member of the buttercup family, Cheddar Globeflower is prized by gardeners who want something a little different from the usual bright yellow or orange Trollius varieties. Its subtle, refined blooms pair beautifully with blues, purples, and other pastels, making it a natural fit for cottage gardens, pond edges, and moisture-rich borders.
