Types of Helonias

Swamp pink

Swamp pink is a flowering plant native to the eastern U.S. whose attractive clusters of pink flowers have unfortunately made it a target of poachers. Because of this, loss of habitat, and its limited seed dispersal, swamp pink is listed as a threatened species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has created the "Adopt a Swamp Pink Population" program to try to boost the plant's numbers.
