Calanthe discolor (Hardy Calanthe Orchid)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 6b-9 10" tall Origin: Japan

We finally have enough of this Japanese native hardy woodland orchid to share. C. discolor emerges from the pseudobulb with 2-3 heavily pleated 6" long x 2" wide leaves. As the bulb offsets, the clumps can get quite thick. The foliage, which is evergreen to 15 degrees F, is topped in midspring with 10" stalks of tiny mahogany flowers with pure white lower lips...a very easy-to-grow addition to that special spot in the woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
