Caltha palustris (Marsh Marigold) is one of the most popular spring-flowering plants for your garden pond. When the garden starts up again after the winter, its yellow flowers from March to May (III-V) provide a bright eye-catcher by the water. This is particularly valuable at the edge of the pond: many waterside plants only sprout vigorously later - the marsh marigold, on the other hand, brings colour early and looks natural and harmonious.
With a growth height of approx. 30 to 40 cm , the plant is ideal for the foreground to midground. It is ideal for the edges of ponds, in damp border beds or in areas that are permanently fresh to wet. The recommended planting depth of 0 to -15 cm makes it perfect for the bank and shallow water edge zone: directly in moist soil at the edge or standing slightly in the water. Caltha palustris looks particularly beautiful when planted in small groups - this creates a calm, natural area that visually softens the edge of the pond.
Delivery in an 18 cm pot makes planting easier and gives the plant a good root volume right from the start. If you want a very clear pond edge or want to keep the position flexible, a plant basket is a practical solution: this keeps the marsh marigold stable in the desired place and can be easily moved if necessary.
Thanks to its hardiness zone 1-2, Caltha palustris is suitable for permanent pond installations in many regions and is an uncomplicated choice for easy-care, near-natural pond edge planting.
Shipping note: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged by the post or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as broken branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes.
Zoo Roco tip: Place the marsh marigold where you often walk past in spring - it is a perfect starting point for the pond season. If the water level fluctuates greatly in spring, place the plant in the plant basket at a depth of 0 to -15 cm so that it remains stable and grows reliably.
