Epipactis palustris

Epipactis palustris, commonly known as marsh helleborine, is a clump-forming orchid with narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and upright stems. In summer, it produces spikes of delicate, pale pink to white flowers with greenish hues and subtle markings, creating an elegant and naturalistic display in damp meadows and pond margins.

This species is valuable for pollinators, attracting bees and other insects, and supports biodiversity in wetland habitats. Its compact, clump-forming habit and graceful flowers make it ideal for naturalistic planting, wet meadows, and wildlife-friendly garden schemes.
