Cypripedium ‘Ulla Silkens’ (Frosch)
'Ulla Silkens' is a gorgeous and elegant hybrid lady's slipper with white flowers and pouches from pink-speckled to completely pink.
‘Ulla Silkens’ is like an improved Cypripedium reginae. Pure white tepals provide the backdrop for a lip that can be white with pink speckles or even completely glowing pink depending on your plant. In addition, the lip colour is more intense in cool temperatures and paler in higher temperatures offering a different show every year. Late flowering. More sun tolerant. Rich soil. Plants will resemble the image but may not be identical. One of the tallest hybrids, it is a cross between C. reginae and C. flavum. Lady’s slipper hybrids are much more vigorous and easy to grow than species. Blooming size. More info on our Frosch Cypripedium: www.cypripedium.de.
