Cypripedium kentuckiense (Kentucky Ladyslipper Orchid)

Light ShadeZone: 3-8 18" tall Origin: USA

NEW! Finally, after years of growing this in our gardens, we are able to share nursery seed-grown flowering plants! Native from Virginia west to Texas, the southeastern native Cypripedium kentuckiense has performed wonderfully for us, making large 18" + tall clumps, topped in early to mid-May with large, creamy, pocketbook-shaped flowers, highlighted by dark purple twisted sepals, in turn adorned with yellow flecking. Slightly moist, organically rich soils are needed for best performance. Plants are all flowering size. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
