Properties relevant to use:
Trollius ledebourii is a herbaceous perennial that reaches 30–80 cm in height and forms a basal rosette of palmately lobed leaves. Its most conspicuous feature is the large, globe‑shaped inflorescence composed of numerous yellow to orange perianth segments that open in late spring to early summer. The flowers are borne on sturdy, erect stems and retain colour well after cutting, making the plant suitable for garden borders, rock gardens, moist meadow plantings, and cut‑flower arrangements. It prefers consistently moist, humus‑rich, well‑drained soils and tolerates partial shade to full sun; it is hardy in USDA zones 3‑7. The species is long‑lived and propagates readily by seed or division, traits that are exploited in horticultural production.

Scientific/model‑organism use:
DNA sequences from T. ledebourii (e.g., ITS, matK, rbcL) have been deposited in GenBank and used as reference data in molecular phylogenetic analyses of the Ranunculaceae. The taxon appears in multiple published phylogenies that resolve relationships within the tribe Trollieae and the broader family (e.g., Wang et al., 2019, *Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution*). Its distinctive globose flower morphology makes it a comparative model in anatomical studies of flower development, where it is examined alongside other Trollius species to elucidate trait evolution.

Sustainability and sourcing:
All commercial material of T. ledebourii is produced through cultivated propagation; wild collection is not documented. Nurseries grow the species in controlled environments, supplying plants for the ornamental trade without harvesting from natural populations. Horticultural societies such as the Royal Horticultural Society provide cultivation guidelines, and the plant is traded without regulatory restrictions. As a result, cultivation practices are considered sustainable, with negligible impact on wild populations.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Expose seeds to natural outdoor winter conditions for 3 months, then gradually increase light and temperature in the spring.
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
