Lady's-Slipper Orchids

Our large-sized lady's-slippers are plants that were collected in Minnesota. The collector receivers a permit from the highway department to collect from areas that are going to be paved. We will provide permit information upon request.

The small-sized lady's-slippers are nursery propogated by tissue culture. Because they are small, great caution must be taken if they are planted directly outdoors. They must be protected from drying out and from pests. Instructions will be sent on how to pot the plants if you would like to grow them for a year before planting out.

To thrive, lady's-slipper, like most of the woodland wildflowers, require rich, well-aerated soil and part shade. A mix of loam, humus, and sand may be used to enrich your beds.

Available in limited quantities—order early!
