The robust Cypripedium 'Gisela' makes a patch of 15\" tall stems, each topped in mid-May with a creamy yellow pouch with burgundy streaks, backed by three large sepals of dark burgundy with a flush of yellow. These are all seed-propagated, flowering-sized plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"How to plant ladyslipper orchids.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/pages\/planting-your-hardy-cypripedium-orchid\"\u003ePlanting your Cypripedium orchid.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLady slipper orchids are maintenance free in the garden once they are established in the correct growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCypripedium prefer soils that are very well drained, and rich in compost.
