Double Marsh Marigold in the GardenTags plant encyclopedia

Caltha Palustris 'Flore Pleno'

 

Double Marsh Marigold

Water buttercups, or marsh marigolds, or king-cups, are clump-forming, and have glossy, deep-green heart-shaped leaves and bright yellow or white cup-shaped flowers in Spring. As their name implies, they like boggy ground. 'Flore Pleno' bears yellow flowers in Spring. It is recommended that they are planted with a depth of 0 - 5cm (0" - 2") water over the crown of the plant.
