HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Marsh Marigold Caltha Palustris seeds in fall or early spring, planting 1/4" below the surface. To start seed indoors, plant 1/4" deep in individual pots or a flat; keep evenly moist and at a temperature of 60-65 degrees until germination, which should take place within 5-10 days. Transplant or thin seedlings.
Growing: This plant can adapt to almost any soil, but prefers well-drained, poor or average soil. Since it prefers cool temperatures, it will appreciate filtered shade. Once established, it does not need regular watering; for the best blooms it should not be over-watered. To keep the plant bushy and neat, occasionally pinch off the tops of the developing stalks. If deadheaded regularly, it will produce profuse blossoms all season long; in hotter regions, it may stop blooming in the heat of summer and begin again in fall. This plant will readily reseed itself. This plant can also be grown in containers.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut the stems long and place them in water immediately. Keep in mind that this plant can be rather toxic, and may irritate the skin.
Seed Saving: Each flower will ripen to a cluster of green prongs, which will open to reveal several seeds in each section. Remove the heads as soon as they split, to avoid losing the seed. Spread the heads out to dry away from direct sunlight. As soon as they dry, shake or crush them to remove the seed. Store Marsh Marigold Caltha Palustris seeds in a cool, dry place.
