Hardy Ground Orchid Penway Sunset

Hardy Ground Orchid Penway Sunset

Introducing an easy-to-grow, easy-care alternative to traditional orchids—Hardy Ground Orchids! One of our newest varieties, Penway Sunset, provides a cheerful, yet soothing colorway to sun-filled sites such as borders, rock gardens, containers and even cutting beds. Petite, yellow blooms grow to a mere 1½" long and appear in groups of 3 to 7 atop 20" scapes. Their unique flower form is reminiscent of their classic cousins, but they possess a charm all their own. Best results come from planting Penway Sunset in well-drained soil in a full sun to partly shaded area.
