From BBC

Trollius.—Showy ranunculaceous plants, of free growth, flowering about May and June.

Tradescantias and trollius are two good families of plants for growing on north borders; the first have curious blue or reddish-purple flowers, rising on stiff stalks clothed with long pointed leaves, and they continue in flower from May till September.

The trollius has bright orange or lemon-yellow cup-shaped blossoms and luxuriant foliage.

Mr. Hawkins: Has any one had experience in raising trollius?
