(aka: Cymbidium 'Setsuzan') We are super excited to be able to share the winter hardy, evergreen Cymbidium goeringii 'Xueshanbiancao'. This amazing Japanese selection has green leaves bordered with a band of cream. Although most collectors grow these as highly prized potted specimens, we prefer to grow ours in the ground. So far, our plants, in a very exposed site, have taken 11 degrees F, with no foliar damage. Starting for us in early March, the clumps are topped with periscope-like variegated flowers with green upper petals with a creamy border, and a white lip with red markings. As you can imagine, our supply is somewhat limited.
