Bring a splash of nodding yellow to the wettest spots of your yard.
Bur Marigold is a fast-growing annual herb that thrives in muddy, wet garden areas. It naturally grows between 0.2 and 1 meter tall, making it a great fit for damp borders or bog gardens. You can plant it alongside Water Plantain and Rice Cutgrass to create a natural wetland look.
This plant is very easy to care for as long as you keep the soil consistently wet. It grows quickly from seed and needs a spot with full sun or partial shade. Because it is not drought tolerant, you must ensure it receives plenty of water.
The plant is easily recognized by its bright yellow flower heads that nod, or bend downward, at the ends of their stems. These cheerful blooms will bring busy bees and butterflies straight to your garden throughout summer and autumn.
