PLANTING and AFTERCARE GUIDE
Best Planting Time

Autumn: Alternatively, plant Trollius in early autumn to let the roots settle before dormancy, promoting stronger growth in the following spring.
Site Selection
Sunlight: Trollius laxus var. albiflorus performs best in full sun to partial shade. Choose a location that receives at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for vigorous flowering.
Soil: Trollius prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid waterlogged areas, and improve drainage and fertility by incorporating compost or organic matter.
Planting Instructions

Soil Preparation: Mix compost or organic matter into the soil to enhance fertility and moisture retention, supporting strong growth and abundant blooms.
Planting: Place the plant in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with surrounding soil. Backfill gently and firm the soil to remove air pockets.
Watering After Planting: Water thoroughly to help roots establish. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Watering Requirements
Growing Season: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Proper moisture encourages lush foliage and vibrant flowers.
Dormant Season: Reduce watering in winter, only providing moisture if the soil becomes extremely dry. Trollius laxus var. albiflorus requires minimal water during dormancy.
Feeding
Spring: Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support new growth and promote the flowering of Trollius laxus var. albiflorus.
Mid-Summer: A light feeding in mid-summer can maintain vigour and extend the flowering period.
Pruning
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and keep Trollius laxus var. albiflorus looking tidy.
Autumn Pruning: After flowering, cut back the plant to ground level to prepare the plant for dormancy and support healthy growth next year.
Mulching
Spring: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Winter: Mulch during colder months to protect roots from frost and prevent heaving, helping Trollius laxus var. albiflorus survive through winter.
Supporting the Plant
Staking: Trollius has a compact growth habit and sturdy stems, so staking is generally unnecessary. Consider support only in exposed or windy areas.
