Caltha palustris, Marsh Marigold

 Pictures to Come!

Marsh Marigold isn't really a marigold at all, but it is a sweet yellow sight found around our moist and cool wetlands in spring. This isn't a plant for the garden, but maybe you have a spot that retains water for some or all of the growing season.. A wetland edge, tranquil lake shore alcove, a woodland seep, a swamp, a lazy creek, or even a rain garden swale will provide the right habitat for Marsh Marigold. I'm super excited to have these growing now and look forward to planting in a few of the above locations this year.

Blooms: bright yellow, April into May

Height: 10 to 24 inches
