The easy-going nature of Epipactis gigantea makes it perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners alike – and ideal for enthusiasts seeking to make a statement in their garden. A strong and tolerant herbaceous perennial, growing from rhizomes beneath the soil, new shoots appear each spring, spreading into beautiful clumps over time. From June to August, many stiff stems hold loose spikes of 15-30 yellow-brown, green and pink flowers, and simple, pointed upturned leaves. Blooming in sequence, going up each stem, this attractive beauty is deer resistant and perfect for both borders and containers. Known commonly as Giant Helloborine, Epipactis gigantea thrives in moist, but well-drained soil, preferring a sunny or partially shaded spot in any aspect. Hardy to around -15°C, so winter protection will not be required, it will reach a mature height of 60cm, and spread to around 50cm.
