It is not for nothing that the marsh marigold bears its name. It refers to their flower color and preferred location. It likes a moist and nutrient-rich soil. Their natural habitat is increasingly restricted by building and draining wet meadows.

Where does the marsh marigold really feel at home?
The marsh marigold feels particularly comfortable on wet meadows, in broken or moor forests or at the edges of water. This makes it ideal for planting in your garden pond. It gets along well with swamp forget-me-not or jester flower.
The marsh marigold shows its bright flowers as early as March. The location should be slightly sunny to semi-shady and like to lie in shallow water. While some varieties prefer a rather calcareous soil, others like it slightly acidic.
The most important location tips for the marsh marigold:
- nutrient-rich heavy soil
