Planting
The pyramidal orchid is best planted in a sunny position, in a rockery or on a slope. It prefers a draining soil, from neutral to basic, and is calcareous. It does not compete well with tall neighbours during its vegetative period, but can be combined with other winter-growing plants (bulbs, anemones). It does well in a mown lawn.
Exposure
The ideal location is in the sun.
Throughout the seasons...
Anacamptis pyramidalis is a short-cycle plant, taking about 3 or 4 months to produce leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds, then resting.
Anacamptis pyramidalis is dormant in summer. The plants emerge in late summer, autumn or late winter and flower in spring and early summer. Cultivation should be as sunny as possible.
It is advisable to reduce watering as the flowers appear and to stop watering completely as soon as the leaves fade. Keep dry during the dormant period. When grown outdoors, summer rain is not harmful if the plant is placed in well-draining soil. Every year a new tuber replaces the old one a few centimeters further down. Sometimes the pyramidal orchis produces several tubers and multiplies.
