Swamp pink stands out in its marshy environment with a unique appearance that includes vibrant, rose to lilac flower clusters that top off leafless stems, reaching heights of 1-3 feet (30-90 cm). The glossy, lance-shaped leaves grow along the base of the plant, forming a tight rosette. It thrives in consistently saturated peaty soils and can be recognized by its robust, thick rhizomes beneath. Spring to early summer is when swamp pink displays its most striking feature, the floral spike, adorned with numerous small, star-shaped blossoms.
