Caltha palustris ‘Plena’


Marsh Marigold

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.109.250


A native wildflower over most of the Northern hemisphere, and much loved for their showy yellow buttercups that grace streamsides and other wet places in early spring. This grows best in a rich moist soil, that never dries out, but will adapt to all but dry conditions. This is a unusual selection, selected for the beautiful, fully double button flowers that appear in April and May. Lovely reflecting in a pond.
