    What an elegant plant this is! She blooms precociously and prolifically, mid- to late spring, with lavender-violet orchid flowers that have a distinctive yellow and purple lip spotted red. Pleated light green lance-shaped leaves rise from the base. This plant is hardy, though it looks exotic, and lightly colonizing. 2' x 2' Minimum temperature: -10°F

    This is an overachieving Type A taking care of No. 1 hardy Orchid but while we find these qualities wearisome in people, we are all over it when it comes to Orchids! Gotta love the attitude of a 40" flowering stem holding as many as 35 pale pink flowers, Good drainage with moisture. PP19878
