Cypripedia, or Lady's Slipper orchids, are the most spectacular and the most desirable available on the English market. Happy in both borders and containers, beautiful yellow blooms with large lower lip are produced during June and July. When planted in borders and grass areas, these extraordinary low maintenance plants will naturalise in informal drifts. Our plants are raised in a laboratory, to ensure they are strong, as it is reputed that even Charles Darwin was unsuccessful in cultivating them. Prefer moist soil in shade. Can be divided once established. Hardy perennials
