Hardy Perennial. This is one of the most rewarding bog plants you can grow in your garden. Spring brings a profusion of rich yellow blooms, which when grown beside your pond or in the bog garden is a delight to behold. Will also do well in a rock garden that is kept moist or even a perennial border. The leaves are a dark green and provide a nice contrast for the bright flowers. Divide after flowering. 'Flore Pleno' will not grow as tall, but will provide you with double flowers.
