    The Swamp Twinflower is a short-lived perennial wildflower found in forested areas around Florida wetlands. It gracefully reaches a height of 6 inches with its light, soft lavender flowers, lying close to the ground with curvy, decumbent stems reaching upwards. Swamp Twinflower leaves are rounder and have a succulent appearance, leaves are small, elliptical or elliptic-ovate in shape. Flowers typically bloom in spring through fall and due to its low-growing compact size, it is an excellent choice as a groundcover and turf replacement in moist to wet soils as it easily reseeds itself where it was planted. Swamp Twinflower grows best in full sun to partial shade. Twinflower is not salt tolerant, making it a poor candidate for coastal landscapes. This wildflower is easy to grow, as it forms dense colonies by underground runners. It is also a prolific self-seeder and may require regular weeding of seedlings. Its attractive foliage and dainty flowers add a soft touch to any wildflower garden or groundcover landscape with shady conditions. Keep an eye out for Buckeye caterpillars as they feed on this amazing host plant.
