Caltha palustris var. palustris var. palustris
Marsh marigold is a cheerful, early-spring blooming perennial that thrives in wet, boggy conditions such as pond edges, rain gardens, or consistently waterlogged soil. Plant it in part shade to full sun in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil and ensure the roots never dry out. It is a wonderful choice for water garden margins and attracts early pollinators with its bright yellow cup-shaped flowers.
