Cypripedium 'Michael' (Michael Hardy Ladyslipper)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-7a 12" tall Origin: Hybrid

Web-Only! This 1998 Werner Frosch introduction, Cypripedium 'Michael', is a small-growing hybrid created from a cross of two Chinese species, Cypripedium henryi and Cypripedium macranthos. The 10-12" tall stalks, adorned with pleated green leaves, are topped in late spring with a stunning purple and white pouch, backed by three dramatically striped purple and white sepals. Moist, slightly alkaline soils work the best. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
