Reviews

The marsh marigold is one of the native wildflowers that inhabit moist to wet locations such as stream banks, the edges of ditches and rivers, and extensively managed wet meadows. As these habitats are becoming increasingly rare, it is already considered an endangered plant in many regions and is listed on the Red List.

The marsh marigold is a spring bloomer and is usually very visible, as it likes to self-seed and spread once it finds a suitable location. Moreover, its bright yellow flowers stand out vividly against the green surroundings.

In the Middle Ages, the marsh marigold had a career as a medicinal plant and was mainly used for liver ailments. However, since the leaves contain the active ingredient anemonin, it is now only used in homeopathic medicine. The use of flower buds as a caper substitute is also no longer significant due to their toxicity. However, the flowers can still be used to dye wool. They can produce a lovely orange or olive green.
