Product Details

A new hybrid with us and quite a stunner! Leaves on this orchid are finely covered with hairs, soft green, around 15 cms long and maybe a 5 cms wide, the whole joined to an erect stem which reaches up to around 50 cms high or so. This rises from a rhizome which grows slowly beneath the soil surface and the plant will eventually make a clump in time. The flower consists of 3 upper petals which in this case are near white with maybe a greenish hint. The larger part is made up of a single flower part called a lower lip and in this hybrid it is a white or nearly so. These plants prefer a loose open soil and in the garden the soil can be opened up using shredded bark, perlite or even coarse grit. A position in moist but well drained soil suits best with moderate fertility, and preferably sited in morning sun but shaded for the rest of the day. If this is not available then a spot in dappled shade all day will suffice.C cordigerum x macranthos.Frosch ® exclusive perennial.
