Kentucky Lady's Slipper Orchid, Cypripedium kentuckiense, is the largest of all the Lady's Slipper Orchids. It is a hardy orchid with large, 2+" waxy, bright, creamy white, sometimes yellowish cast, moccasin shaped flowers resembling a swollen egg. The petals and sepals are greenish striped and mottled with purple. They have an opening through which pollinating insects travel. There is no nectar, and insects have to find their way through the pouch and out the back. They probably soon learn there is little nectar available in Lady's Slippers and avoid the flowers, which may be why so few are pollinated in the wild. Flowers are singular on tall spikes. It is a late Spring bloomer, and flowers can last up to a month or more. Flower spikes benefit from staking, and protection from the wind. In their natural habit, Kentucky Lady's Slipper Orchids grow in rich, moist, open, upland woods, above bogs and fens. The soil is typically acidic, low nutrient, loose, well drained and humusy. It is consistently moist, but not saturated. There is frequently a layer of decomposing leaves on the soil surface. Light is shade or dappled sunlight. Plants tolerate full sun, but do not look their best. Seeds are very fine and can be a challenge to germinate. It is winter hardy, and should be protected from rodents during dormancy. Mulch with 4+" of pine needles in the Fall. Leave at least a 1" of needles after spring cleanup. The rhizomes can be stored in damp sphagnum at 35°F (2°C) in a refrigerator for 3 or 4 months. Water with rain/distilled water, they are sensitive to mineral buildup. Do not over water, and be sure to keep the soil slightly moist during the peak of summer. It is striking in beds and pots, and makes a colorful addition to the bog garden.

Seed Packs are fresh harvested in the Fall, and stored refrigerated. Seed count is approximate, but reliable. For bog orchids seed count is actually 100-250+ per pack, as these seeds are dust-like and too small to count.

Note: Stratification is required to prepare seeds for germination. We recommend using our Stratification Sand. All seeds are produced from open pollination within our collection. Native orchid seeds require the presence of commensal fungus to properly germinate and grow. Growing carnivorous plants from seeds is best suited for the experienced and patient grower. See our webpage on Growing CPs from Seeds.

Plant Type: Perennial, cold temperate to temperate.
Soil: Lady's Slipper Mix
Soil pH: 7-7.5

Perfect Champagne Shimmer for Festivals & Events
Color: Champagne Gold - 01
Color- Champagne Gold shade. So cute! Get it! I always end up getting compliments when I wear this to festivals/concerts/event. It works great not just on your face but all over your body like arms, chest, shoulders, anywhere you want a little extra glow. It adds a really cute shimmer without being too extreme or over-the-top. I especially like wearing it to festivals or events where there are lots of lights or sunshine, because that’s when it really catches the light and looks the best. Once it dries, it has more of a matte finish with a soft shimmer rather than looking overly dewy or greasy. The champagne color blends really nicely with my neutral/tan skin tone, so it looks natural while still adding that fun sparkle. It’s a great little addition to any festival or event outfit. A little bit goes a long way. I’ve probably used this around 20 times already and still have at least half the bottle left. Another huge plus is that it washes off easily and doesn’t flake everywhere or leave glitter all over the floors and counters like some other body glitters I’ve tried. Overall, a great product if you want a subtle but noticeable shimmer! ✨
