Chinese Butterfly Yellow Hardy Orchid. This incredible easy-to-grow hardy ground orchid is different from its cousins in that it will continue to flower pretty much all summer. The wispy stems up to 30" high will be topped with 3-5 elegant light yellow flowers with purple highlights. It is thought that it will tolerate more sun than its cousins as well by either a morning sun and afternoon shade exposure or high filtered sun. Give it good drainage with uniform moisture and you will be surprised at how easy it will be to grow orchids. This free flowering strain was introduced by Linda Guy, a great friend and plants-person.
