Like other buttercup plants, the globeflower also blooms in bright yellow. However, their spherical flowers are usually closed. However, some cultivated forms have more or less open flowers and surprise the viewer with different colors such as orange.
When is the globe flower blooming time?
The flowering period of the globe flower in its wild form extends from May to June and presents yellow, spherical flowers. However, cultivated forms can bloom until August and can also come in color variations such as orange. They are particularly popular as a food source for bees.
While the wild variety only flowers for a relatively short time in May and June, breeders have been able to extend the flowering period of some varieties until August. Not only the viewers are happy about this, but also many bees. The globe flowers are a rich source of food for them. Unfortunately, the globe flower has now become rare, which is why it is protected. It prefers a moist, partially shaded location.
The most important things about flowering:
- Wild form flowers yellow
- Flowering period from May to June
- well suited as a “bee pasture”
- Creed varieties bloom until August
- Breeds with different flower colors possible
Tip
The spherical flowers of globeflowers are not only very decorative and unusual but also a popular source of food for bees and other beneficial insects.
