Jacobaea paludosa
Jacobaea paludosa
Marsh ragwort is a European wetland perennial best suited to moist or boggy soils in full sun to partial shade, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens or pond margins. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Note that like many plants in the Jacobaea genus, it contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids and should be kept away from livestock and pets.
