Hardy Chinese Ground Orchid

Cold-hardy and wonderfully easy to grow, this ground orchid offers fragrant violet pink blooms held in tidy racemes that open in sequence for weeks. Each flower is about 2" across with five delicately flared petals, rising cleanly above pleated, sword shaped foliage that brings structure from spring to frost. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it’s a striking choice for rockeries, shady slopes or containers and brings an unexpectedly resilient orchid presence to cooler climates.
