Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Cypripedium 'Ivory' (C. cordigerum x C. kentuckiense) is a stunning hybrid owing to the large ivory-white pouch backed by yellow petals striped and speckled in burgundy. Blooms in May/June. 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! Blooming size.
