We have added the native Yellow Lady Slipper (Cypripediuim calceolus) to our perennial offerings this year. One of the prettiest native orchids, it will reach a height of 1-2 feet with the lovely yellow flower atop a stalk of bright green foliage.
This woodland native needs mostly shade – filtered sunlight to thrive. Moist organic (slightly acidic) soil will give this plant just what it needs. Blooming in early to mid-May, it is a long-lived plant that you will enjoy for many years.
