Nursery contributed plant descriptions
'Inge' has especially long-lasting flowers blooming for up to 3 weeks with green petals dramatically veined with darkest burgundy surrounding a large, pale yellow pouch. It is vigorous and robust in growth bulking up into nice clumps with stems 16-20 inches tall. Blooms in mid May. Grown from seed from crosses of C. parviflorum and C. fasciolatum. 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!
