Caltha palustris (Marsh Marigold Early)

Caltha palustris ‘Early’ – Marsh Marigold

‘Early’ Marsh Marigold is a moisture-loving perennial with bright yellow flowers held above rounded, heart-shaped green foliage. This early-blooming selection flowers about a week or more ahead of the species, bringing color to wet areas in late winter to early spring.

It grows well along stream banks, pond edges, in water gardens, or other consistently moist areas, and can tolerate shallow standing water during the bloom period. Over time, it can form attractive clumps and naturalized patches.
