Callirhoe involucrata var. lineariloba
(Purple Poppy Mallow) |
sun | June-August | cerise or white | 4-8 in. | well-drained |
Seed from a white population. This is in all other ways very similar to the common variety of Callirhoe involucrata and thus an excellent, long-flowering groundcover for hot, sunny spots. Seedlings will be variable in color. |

Caltha palustris
(Marsh Marigold) |
part sun, shade | April-May | yellow | 12-18 in | moist to wet |
It is a sure sign of spring when marsh marigolds light up our wetlands with their smiling yellow flowers. They are happiest in very wet swampy soils and will likely go dormant after flowering. |
