Caltha leptosepala, the white marsh marigold, twinflowered marsh marigold, or broadleaved marsh marigold, is a perennial species of flowering plant in the buttercup family. It is native to western North America from Alaska to New Mexico, where it grows in wet mountain habitats in alpine and subalpine regions.
This is a perennial with leaves that are up to 13 or 15 centimeters long and may have smooth, wrinkled, or toothed edges. Each flower is up to 4 centimeters wide, usually white or sometimes yellow.
Caltha leptosepala grows in moist to wet soils in partial shade. Its native habitats include wet alpine, subalpine meadows, stream edges and bogs.
These seeds are in very limited supply.
Type: Bog plant, water plant, moist soil area
Height: 25cm, 10"
Hardiness zones: 3-7
Location: Sun
Seeds per packet: 10
Your planting container should be waterproof, and not have holes at the bottom. Fill the container with good soil. Sow the seeds just under the surface, and then fill the tray with water to the top of the soil. Leave them at room temperature for 3-4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4-6 weeks. Be sure they stay wet. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to 21C, 70F for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and or plants are poisonous.
