Sphagnum bogs and tamarack swamps, surviving a good deal of shade as succession advances; in fens and boggy interdunal flats and pools, thriving in both acid and alkaline habitats. Very local in the southernmost parts of the state.
The petals are normally a rich maroon, the calyx of similar red-purple shade, and the leaves of even shaded plants at least slightly veined with red. Striking plants completely lacking this pigment (flowers yellow, leaves green to yellowish) have been called f. heterophylla (Eaton) Fernald.
