Double Marsh Marigold ‘Caltha Palustris Flore Pleno’, £4.50

This double-flowered marsh marigold sports vibrant pom-poms of bright yellow flowers in late spring. A perennial, this plant has rounded dark green leaves which contrast sharply with the clusters of golden flowers.

Will grow to around 40cm height and spread.
