Sizes available: 2 quart

Basics: Zone 3-7, 12-18" x 12-18", full sun to part shade, yellow bloom in early spring, prefers moist, somewhat acidic, fertile soils or oxygen-rich water

Common names: Swamp Marigold, Marsh Marigold, Kingcup (also see below for more!)

Family: Ranunculaceae

Origin/Distribution: This plant appears in the temperate northern hemisphere in numerous closely associated variations. It is native to the northeastern U.S. including Maine.

Habitat: wet edges, wet open woods, wet meadows, swamps, bogs, marshes, fens, wet ditches, in between reeds at lake and river edge. Found in Black Alder coppices and regularly-flooded, always moist places. 

More: Caltha palustris contains nectar and lots of pollen and is an excellent food source for numerous insects early in the season. It can also be rain-pollinated and the seeds rain-dispersed and/or distributed by floating on moving water. It is a joy to see the bright yellow flowers after a long winter. The young leaves and buds are edible cooked, with a couple of water-changes. A more promising experience might be cooking and pickling the buds for a garnish. There is potential for contact dermatitis and the plant is toxic if eaten raw. The leaves and roots have been used medicinally. The leaves of this plant can be confused with the leaves of Veratrum viride, False Hellebore, which is fatally toxic in all parts. 

Even more: This plant is mentioned in numerous poems and works of fiction (see the lengthy Wikipedia entry for more). In the U.K. Caltha palustris has many names: Bassinets, Crazy Beth, Horse Blob, Molly-blob, May Blob, Boots, Water Boots, Meadow-bright, Bullflower, Meadow Buttercup, Water Buttercup, Soldier's Buttons, Meadow or Water Cowslip, Publican's Cloak or Publicans-and-Sinners, Crowfoot, Water Dragon, Drunkards, Water Goggles, Meadow, Water or Yellow Gowan, Goldes, Golds, Goldings, Gools, Cowlily, Marybuds.

Survived the sun like a pasty legend
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this sunscreen because I’m basically a human marshmallow — one hour in the sun and I’m toasted. This Amazon Basics Sport SPF 50? It’s like armor for the pale and easily crisped. I slathered it on before a full day of hiking, sweating, and pretending I enjoy direct sunlight, and guess what? No burn. Not even a pink glow. Just victory. It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and somehow stayed put through sweat, water, and my dog licking my arm. It’s fragrance-free, which means I didn’t smell like a coconut smoothie or a chemical spill — just clean and protected. Pros: • High SPF that actually works • Sweat and water resistant — like, impressively so • No greasy residue or weird smell • Affordable and comes in a big ol’ bottle • Didn’t turn me into a lobster (the bar is low, but still) Minor feedback: It’s not fancy or trendy, but honestly, I’m here to not burn — not win a skincare award. Also, it takes a bit of rubbing in, but once it’s on, it’s locked and loaded. Final thoughts: If you want solid sun protection without the drama, this stuff delivers. Whether you’re hiking, swimming, or just trying to survive summer, it’s a reliable sidekick. Would absolutely buy again — my skin demands it.

Great Sunscreen at a Great Price!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this sunscreen. I live in FL and like to walk most mornings, and need a good sunblock. This Amazon Basics is far better than my previous, far more expensive brand. It's a great price for great quality. I've been using it on my body & face, it's non-greasy, absorbs well, and really seems to offer very good sun protection. And I really appreciate the next day shipping on my past two orders, Amazon. Thanks for the great product & great service!

Works when working outside and heavy activities
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use it as an Amazon delivery driver, and it works in the heat and sweat is no issue it does last for 2 hours. Reapplying it is extremely easy, no burns or sun damage to my skin. I can tell you it works cause I’m recovering from skin cancer and it works no problems or anything.

Just ok - too thick to apply evenly
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Just ok - very thick, so difficult to apply evenly. I use this for outdoor cycling and it works, but it's so thick that it tends to clump instead of smoothly covering the skin.

Doesn't go on greasy. Doesn't stink. Don't get sunburnt wearing it.
