Hybrid Cypripediums for rapid proliferation ...

Hybrid Cypripedium for rapid proliferation...

Hybrid Cypripedium are the result of crossing two wild or botanical species and are generally distinguished by their rapid growth (hybrid vigour).

These hybrids really are more vigorous, meaning that new stems appear more quickly. With hybrid varieties, it is not uncommon to obtain a flowerbed of 10-20 stems in just a few years.

They proliferate very quickly in both pots or in the garden and are ideal for beginners or those wanting large flowerbeds relatively quickly.
