Summary
Liparophyllum exaltatum, commonly known as Erect Marsh-Flower, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the wetlands and marshes of Eastern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 3-5 feet (0.9-1.5 meters) and a width of 1 foot (0.3 meters). This plant is characterized by its upright growth habit and lance-shaped leaves. The Erect Marsh-Flower produces vibrant yellow flowers during the spring, summer, and fall, which are quite showy and attract pollinators.
Erect Marsh-Flower is valued for its ability to thrive in wet conditions and is often used in water gardens, bog gardens, and as a marginal plant in ponds. It is also appreciated for its long flowering season and the visual interest it adds to aquatic settings. Gardeners should provide it with full sun to part shade. While it requires aquatic amounts of water, it is relatively low maintenance once established.CC BY-SA 4.0
