Cypripedium ‘Sabine’
Cypripedium 'Sabine' has huge flowers bigger than a chicken's egg!
‘Sabine’ offers huge flowers with lips the size of a chicken egg in May! The lip is ivory white and flushed with pink. The sepals have a creamy white background and are striped with deep pink. The plant itself grows to a maximum of 50 cm (20 inches). Strong stems and long lasting flowers that bloom for three weeks complete the list of attributes for a great garden display. A cross of two Chinese species: C. fasciolatum and C. macranthos. 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 with multiple eyes.
