Golden Queen - Chinese Globe Flower 50 Seeds

Trollius chinensis

Golden Queen - Chinese Globe Flower is a striking perennial known for its bold, globe-like golden-orange blooms that rise above deeply divided, glossy green foliage. Unlike the fully rounded blooms of other globe flowers, this species features prominent, elongated inner petals that give the flowers a dramatic, almost spiky appearance. Blooming in late spring to early summer, it brings vibrant colour to borders and moist garden areas.

A standout in cottage gardens and near water features, Golden Queen Flower thrives in cooler climates and adds elegant structure to the early summer landscape.
