Marsh Marigold

Marsh Marigold  (Caltha)

Marsh Marigold (Caltha) needs to be planted in a wet to boggy soil in full sun. They are ideal plants for along a stream or the pond edge. If your garden does not provide these, try planting in a half shady spot with lots of organic matter mixed in the soil. Apart from the 'normal' yellow Marsh Marigold, we all know from the wild, there are now also some white, double flowered varieties on the market. Good neighbour plants for Marsh Marigold are Lobelia (Lobelia), Water Forget-me-not (Myosotis palustris) and Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum).
