Caltha palustris var. alba

Description

Flowers: March-May.  Plant in sun or light shade.  HxS 30x30cm

This is the white flowered form of marsh marigold, which can be quite variable in size and will often start flowering in late February.  It prefers a slightly drier situation to Caltha palustris and is best used at the water’s edge as a waterside plant, rather than as a marginal.  Native, ultra hardy and very easy to grow, it will often re-bloom in September. Pot size 10.5cm.

Care & Maintenance.

Tidy old foliage in late winter or very early spring as you see new buds appearing.  Sow seed or divide in late winter.
