Giant King Cup aka Giant Marsh Marigold

Caltha palustris polypetala


A much bolder plant than Caltha palustrus (Marsh Marigold) with striking, large, single yellow flowers that appear in early spring and continue for longer than other calthas. Mature plants frequently have a few flowers throughout milder winters.

This plant will die back to its basket for winter, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
