These plants are found in nature in open well drained but moist areas, along roadsides and in open fields, and in cultivation do well in open gardens with well-drained soil. Some protection from direct sun is beneficial in the warmer climates. Our Plants .... Are 100% laboratory propagated from seed! Cypripedium reginae as a species has a multi-eyebud growth habit by nature. Therefore, many of our plants are often multi-eyebud plants for which we do not charge extra. We, however, cannot guarantee multi-eyebud plants as we instead grade them by rhizome size and quality and not by number of eyebuds. All plants will ship in Spring 2007 depending on weather. Plants are guranteed live delivery. We however, due to their specific requirements, cannot guarantee them to live after you have planted them. Be sure to read the cultivation notes found at: A Plant's Home before ordering and planting. We have approximately 1,500 - 5 year old plants available. This is blooming age. They should start blooming this year or the year after. We sell these plants on our website for $39.95 each. This may be the only time we offer them at this low price!
