This colourful British native is one of the first to bloom in spring, brightening up ponds and water gardens with its bright yellow flowers. The Marsh Marigold forms an attractive clump of glossy kidney-shaped foliage that makes a handsome backdrop for its blooms. This hardy perennial is always popular with insects as a rich source of nectar. Perfect for growing in boggy soil or the shallow margins of ponds and streams.Height: 60cm (24″). Spread: 60cm (24″). Planting depth: Zones 1 & 2 to 15cm below water level.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Caltha plants in fertile, boggy soil at the edge of ponds and streams or submerged in water to a maximum depth of 15cm (6″). Marsh Marigolds thrive in sun or semi-shade.
