Meet a cheerful, moisture-loving annual that brings bright yellow blooms to the dampest corners of your yard.
Bur Marigold is a fast-growing annual herb that naturally thrives in muddy wetlands. In a home garden, this plant is perfect for wet areas, bog gardens, or the damp edges of a pond. It grows between 0.2 and 1 meter tall, featuring narrow, serrated leaves and nodding yellow flowers.
Growing this plant is easy, provided you can give it plenty of water. It needs constant high moisture and does not tolerate dry soil at all. You can plant it from seed in a spot that gets full sun or partial shade.
Its bright yellow flower heads bloom from summer through autumn, nodding gently on their stems. These cheerful blossoms are highly attractive to local bees and butterflies. It is also completely non-toxic to both humans and pets, making it a safe choice for busy yards.
