    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Hank Small' resembles the European lady's slipper (C. calceolus) and the North American yellow lady's slipper (C. parviflorum var. parviflorum). A hybrid of the latter species and the Asian C. henryi, it is much easier to grow in the garden. The intensely coloured yellow lips are surrounded by rich burgundy tepals. Strong plants often produce two blooms on one stem. Grown from seed. Plants will resemble the image but may not be identical. Lady's slipper hybrids are much more vigorous and easy to grow than species. Blooming size.
