A succulent plant with glossy, heart- or kidney-shaped leaves and a thick, hollow, branching stem with bright, shiny yellow flowers. Yellow marsh-marigold is a mounded perennial, 1-2 ft. tall, with thick stems; broadly heart-shaped leaves; and clusters of large, showy, buttercup-like, yellow flowers.
The flowers of this beautiful spring water garden plant resemble large buttercups rather than the marigolds. The leaves are sometimes used as potherbs but require several boilings with changes of water between. They should not be eaten raw. A smaller species, Floating Marsh Marigold, found from Alaska southeastward to northern Minnesota, has small white or pinkish flowers, kidney-shaped leaves, and stems that often float.
This water garden lily likes moist conditions and rich soils. It is most happy at home near a pond or stream, but can be happy in a low area that stays wet most of the time. Marsh Marigolds do tolerate periods of drought, but will go dormant, losing all their leaves.
