Description Fine Print
 
Dactylorhiza incarnata ssp. coccinea, the early marsh orchid, offers unique colours of red, crimson, carmine, brick red, or pale claret. The spikes of small orchid flowers will reach about 20 cm (8 in.) high. The subspecies is endemic to the UK and Ireland. Marsh orchids grow across Europe usually in moist habitats that are either moist year round or seasonally moist in the winter becoming drier in the summer. Despite their marshy natural habitats, these hardy orchids do well in evenly moist garden soils in full to part sun and are easy to grow. Over time they will develop into impressive clumps of lance-shaped leaves with many vertical spikes of delightful orchid flowers.
