Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 2-7a 18" tall Origin: USA
The showy lady slipper is one of the most abundant northeast US species. In June, the plants emerge with 18'' tall stalks, each clothed in oblong velvety leaves. From mid-June to July, the stems are topped with exquisite slipper flowers...white petals at the top with a pink slipper attached below. In time, C. reginae will develop into quite a large clump. C. reginae prefers a partially open site with a moist, neutral, or slightly acid soil. C. reginae and other lady slippers are not plants for beginning gardeners. These are all seed-grown, nursery-propagated plants. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
