Marsh Marigold is a bright and cheery spring bloomer for rain gardens, pond edges, or any other boggy, wet spot in your garden. A low-growing, rhizomatous groundcover with glossy leaves which will slowly spread to form beautiful gold-flowering masses. Not to be confused with the highly invasive Lesser Celandine, which grows earlier, lower, and features more petals per yellow flower.
