Caltha

(Ranunculaceae - buttercup family family)
About 15-20 species of perennial wetland herbs of the north and south temperate zones. Several species are cultivated as ornamentals, especially for their showy flowers.

palustris peren • ht 12-24" • zones 2-7

marsh marigold; cowslip

pond frame


native, moist - wet, sun - part shade
Nfld. to Alaska, s to NC and TN

In early spring this showy native lights up wetlands where it occurs with its masses of bright, shiny, golden-yellow flowers about 1" to 1.5" across. Especially conspicuous since it is one of the first of the really showy wildflowers to bloom; marsh marigold's blossoms preceed the leafing out of most trees and shrubs. Quite tolerant of shade, and with some same will get by with ordinary moist soil. Plenty of sun plus damp or wet soil, however, will result in the greatest abundance of flowers.
