Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Maria' is similar in colouration to 'Gisela' but is daintier in habit and flower structure. 'Maria' also has broader leaves and opens about one week later than 'Gisela'. 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. Well cared for clumps can double their flowering stems ever year!
