Field Notes

Description:

It flowers between April and August, dependent on altitude and latitude, but occasional flowers may occur at other times.

Habitat:

The marsh-marigold grows in places with oxygen-rich water near the surface of the soil. It likes richer soils, but dislikes application of fertilizer and avoids high concentrations of phosphate and ammonium, and is also shy of brackish water. It is often associated with seepage that is rich in iron, because iron ions react with phosphate, thus making it unavailable for plants.
