Grass Pink Orchid White Seeds

Ease to Grow: ModerateDormancy: RecommendedNative Range: Peat Bogs of Eastern and Central North AmericaZones: 4-8 (3-10) The White Grass Pink, Calopogon tuberosa f. alba, is a very striking form of the typical Grass Pink. It produces one of the showiest of all our native orchids.  The bright white blooms are 2" (4cm) across with multiple flowers (up to 6) on each spike. The petals are frosty white and the lip is tipped with bright yellowish orange bristles that attract insects. It is a summer bloomer. White Grass Pink is a bog plant which grows in open, acidic bogs with sphagnum moss, but is adaptable to drier, upland conditions, as long as the soil remains damp during flowering. It is winter hardy, and should be in well drained soil and protected from rodents during dormancy. Mulch with 4+" of pine needles in the Fall. Leave at least a 1" of needles after spring cleanup. The corms can be stored in damp sphagnum at 35°F (2°C) in a refrigerator for 3 or 4 months. Water with rain/distill
