This captivating plant graces the bog or water garden with its vibrant presence throughout the summer. Crafting a dense, bushy mound of foliage, its small, ovate or lanceolate leaves boast a rich, deep green hue. As late spring unfurls into early summer, 'Queens Prize' transforms into a visual spectacle, showcasing an abundance of trumpet-shaped blooms flaunting a luminous yellow palette, accentuated by delightful speckles and distinct darker markings on the throat.
If using as a boggy/marginal aquatic, plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond at a depth of 0-5cm (0-2"). Prune at any time during the growing season. Removing seed heads encourages new flowers to form.
