Creeping Water Primrose

Creeping water primrose is a perennial plant that stands erect along the shoreline but also forms long runners (up to 16 feet) that creep across wet soil or float out across the water surface. The leaves vary from green to red tinged. The plants flower yellow in all seasons except winter. The yellow flower is very distinctive of creeping water primrose. Flowers vary in size from 1 inch to 2 inches in diameter.
