{"product_id":"caltha-palustris-marginal-pond-plant","title":"Caltha palustris Marginal Pond Plant","description":"\u003cp\u003eCaltha palustris brings early, dense yellow flowering to the pond margin, giving colour before many other marginal plants have got going. A slow-growing native plant, it suits shallow planting pockets or the pond shelf and needs little dividing once settled. Choose a single potted plant in a 1 litre or 3 litre basket, or a pack of three 9cm potted plants for covering more ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaltha palustris is a native marginal pond plant that, once established, flowers so heavily in early spring it can look like a solid ball of yellow blossom. It suits pond keepers planting the shallow margins or shelf area of a pond, and gives colour at a time when many other marginal plants have barely started growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou get a single plant already potted in a mesh aquatic basket with the 1 litre and 3 litre sizes, or three individual plants each in a 9cm pot with the pack option. The smaller pot size is a useful way to cover more planting area without buying several larger baskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant tolerates full sun through to part shade, so there is some flexibility in where it goes around the pond edge. It is slow-growing too, meaning it will not need dividing or cutting back as often as some faster-spreading marginals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts mature size keeps it in scale with smaller pond margins and planting pockets, so it is unlikely to crowd out neighbouring plants once settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun\/Shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull sun to part shade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlowers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMar \u0026amp; Apr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAfter flowering in March and April most foliage will die back.
