Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris) - 9cm

Marsh Marigold / King Cups 

Caltha palustris 

Once established it produces a mass of bright yellow flowers very early in the spring, almost a ball of yellow. After flowering in March and April most foliage will die back, but sometimes it has a second flowering later in the year.

This plant will die back to its basket for winter, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

Example potted plant photos taken in March 2021. The plant has only just begun growing this season.
Photos of this plant in our display phone were taken April 2023. Established plants produce and abundance of flowers each Springtime.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
