Caltha palustris var. palustris is an elegant hardy perennial, that is much adored for its striking, five-petalled yellow flowers, that will appear from March until May. Each kidney-shaped, glossy green leaflet is happy to be submerged, requiring little maintenance and offering a safe place for insects to rest. Ideal for planting in water gardens and bogs, try also incorporating by pond edges and keep positioned in semi shade. It will progress to a maximum height and spread of 60cm. 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.
