Plant description
This elegant perennial enchants with its pale primrose-yellow flowers that seem to float above deeply divided, buttercup-like foliage. Trollius × cultorum 'Taleggio' forms upright clumps adorned with semi-double, cup-shaped blooms in late spring to early summer.
Less vigorous than many cultivars, it thrives in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if planted in consistently moist, nutrient-rich soil. This herbaceous plant excels in bog gardens, along pond or stream margins, where its luminous flowers shine in shadier areas.
Attractive to pollinators, it adds a touch of refined beauty to moist borders while requiring minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a graceful, shade-tolerant perennial with extended seasonal interest.

How to care for Trollius × cultorum Taleggio:
Choose a location with moist or boggy soil. Prepare the bed well by digging in lots of composted organic matter before you plant. For best results it is essential that the plants are kept well watered for the first year, particularly during warmer weather.
Lift and divide large clumps in late autumn or early spring. In spring apply a 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plants and water in very dry weather, to prevent the soil from drying out.

Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
