Cypripedium ‘Aki Pastel’
‘Aki Pastel’ is an elegant hybrid offering large flowers with an inflated lip and lovely spiralling petals. The lip is creamy white surrounded by tepals of soft yellow to apricot. Red spots and streaks complete the show. Grown from seed. Plants will resemble the image but may not be identical. Lady’s slipper hybrids are much more vigorous and easy to grow than species. Well cared for clumps can double their flowering stems ever year! Blooming size.
