Trollius ranunculoides, commonly known as the Dwarf Globe Flower, is a charming, compact perennial native to alpine meadows and moist slopes across central and eastern Asia, including regions of China, Siberia, and the Himalayas. This petite member of the buttercup family produces cheerful, butter-yellow, cup-shaped flowers in late spring to early summer, rising just above tufts of deeply divided, glossy green foliage. Unlike its taller relatives, Trollius ranunculoides is well-suited to rock gardens and alpine troughs, where its small stature (typically 10–20 cm tall) and bright blooms add a splash of color in cool, moist niches. It thrives in partial sun to full sun in cooler climates and prefers humus-rich, consistently moist but well-drained soil. Ideal conditions include a cool root run and protection from intense afternoon heat. In rock gardens, it grows best in crevices or pockets with good moisture retention and some summer shade. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–7, this species brings an alpine meadow feel to small spaces and rewards the grower with early-season color and graceful form.
