Bloom Color

Interesting Notes

This lovely native of the Southeast grows in moist woodlands and adapts easily to regular orchid culture. Blooms reliably every fall with attractive spirals of pure-white, long-lasting, fragrant flowers on a perfectly straight stem, and multiplies quickly into a beautiful specimen plant! One of the DuPont's favorite orchids, one that was given to us from them. Naturalized in the garden, it adds freshness to the often dull fall season. And, it makes a great cut flower for all styles of arrangements, even weddings. Santa Barbara Orchid Estate

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Grow in partial to full shade in rich soil with high organic content. A very hardy plant, though it is best planted by the end of July for reliable success in gardens and containers. Prefers not to be transplanted once established.
