Dactylorhiza ‘Simon Milton’ is a hybrid, hardy orchid, which was named in honour of Sir Simon Milton.  Dactylorhiza ‘Simon Milton’ was launched at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2016, this new orchid featured in the planting on the Sir Simon Milton Urban Connections Garden, which was designed by Lee Bestall and Paul Robinson, and built by Jon Housley.

Dactylorhiza ‘Simon Milton’ (Aristocrat x D. purpurella): I have not tested this orchid outdoors, so I am just going by the grower’s description of this as being a very hardy orchid.
