Cypripedium reginae - The Showy Lady's Slipper

Itasca Lady's Slipper Farm in Bovey, Minnesota sells Lady's Slippers across the United States and will ship the plants as bare roots directly to you in the spring and fall only. In summer is on site only sales. One of the featured flowers we sell is Minnesota's state flower - the Cypripedium Reginae also called the Queen's or Showy Lady's-Slipper. With it's large size, spectacular beauty, and relative ease of culture combine to make this species one of the most desirable for moist woodland gardens.  The roots of this plant should never be allowed to dry out, but the soil should not remain wet either.  This species must have a little direct sun in order to flower but enough shade during the hot part of the day that the soil does not get too warm.  Zones 2-5 and cooler parts of Zone 6.
