Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Ranunculaceae family. It is commonly known as globeflower and is native to parts of Asia, including China and Mongolia. 'Golden Queen' is a selected variety known for its large, showy, golden-yellow flowers that resemble globes. The flowers are borne on tall, sturdy stems above a clump of deeply lobed, dark green foliage. The blooms have numerous petal-like sepals surrounding a central cluster of bright yellow stamens, creating a striking and vibrant display.
Care Guide:
Light Requirements: Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' prefers a location with partial shade to full sun. While it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, it generally thrives in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade to protect it from intense midday heat.
Soil Requirements: Provide well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' prefers moist, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (around 6.0 to 7.0). Ensure the soil is well-amended with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and moisture retention.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. Aim to provide about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week, either through rainfall or supplemental irrigation. Avoid allowing the soil to become excessively dry or waterlogged.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring when new growth begins. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding dosage and application method. Fertilizing once a year should be sufficient to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain a cool root environment. Keep the mulch a few inches away from the stems to prevent potential rotting.
Pruning: After flowering, you can remove the spent flower stalks to tidy up the plant's appearance. Cut them back to the base of the plant. However, leave the foliage intact to allow the plant to gather energy for the next growing season. In late autumn or early winter, you can cut back the remaining foliage to ground level.
Division: Every 3 to 4 years, consider dividing the plant in early spring or early autumn to maintain its vigor and prevent overcrowding. Dig up the clumps, carefully separate them into smaller sections, and replant them in suitable locations. Each division should have sufficient roots and healthy growth points.
Pest and Disease Control: Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for aphids and slugs, which can occasionally cause problems. Monitor the plant regularly and take appropriate measures, such as using organic insecticidal soap for aphids or employing slug control methods.
Winter Care: Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' is a hardy plant that can tolerate cold temperatures. It doesn't require any special winter protection. However, in regions with severe winters, a layer of mulch applied around the base can provide some insulation and protect the roots.
Trollius chinensis 'Golden Queen' is an eye-catching addition to borders, cottage gardens, and moist areas. With proper care and maintenance, it will reward you with its stunning golden blooms and bring vibrant color to your outdoor spaces.
