Description

Also known as king cup, marsh marigold is a perennial herbaceous plant in the buttercup family. These plants have a variety of different shaped green leaves but have a signature yellow-orange 5-petalled flower.

For Your Pet

Marsh marigolds leaves contain protoanemonin which is poisonous to wild animals, livestock, pets, and humans. This can cause severe skin inflammation and irritation when in contact, and convulsions and internal bleeding if ingested.

Warning

Do not feed your pet marsh marigold as it can cause serious illness.
