The dark purple foliage provides a stunning backdrop for the 6' tall stalks of cherry red flowers

At this point they will produce all new foliage which will then remain fresh until the following summer

Cypripedium Lukas Ornamental Grasses clothed with green marijuana-like foliageCypripedium 'Lukas' is a splendid hybrid between the North American native ladyslipper orchid, Cypripedium parviflorum var. pubescens and the Taiwanese native Cypripedium segawae. Cypripedium 'Lukas' produces a small 1' tall x 1' wide clump. In spring, each stalk produces up to three bright yellow pouches, each backed by purple flecked sepals. Our ladyslipper offerings are all flowering size plants. These are in very short supply, so don't delay.
