Caltha polypetala

Giant Marsh Marigold

One of the earlier blooms to appear in the spring, Giant Marsh Marigold comes alive with happy yellow flowers atop a glossy dark green foliage letting everybody know Spring is upon us. Hardy in zones 4-7 and not reaching much taller than 2 feet tall, the Giant Marsh Marigold is great for kicking off the growing season with some yellow colorful blooms. Unlike our native Caltha, this one holds its foliage later into the warmer summer months.
