Landscape Qualities

Marsh Marigold is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its medium texture blends into the garden | but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.

Ornamental Qualities

Marsh Marigold features subtle yellow buttercup flowers at the ends of the stems from early to late spring. Its heart-shaped leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season.

Planting and Growing

Marsh Marigold will grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity extending to 16 inches tall with the flowers | with a spread of 12 inches. It grows at a medium rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an herbaceous perennial | this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter | and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen! As this plant tends to go dormant in summer | it is best interplanted with late-season bloomers to hide the dying foliage.

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in moist to wet soil | and will even tolerate some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in both summer and winter to conserve soil moisture and protect it in exposed locations or colder microclimates. This species is native to parts of North America | and parts of it are known to be toxic to humans and animals | so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets.
