Cypripedium are terrestrial orchids with slender rhizomes and soft fan-shaped leaves, spirally arranged or in opposite pairs. They flower through the late spring to summer months and have white, pink, red or yellow flowers and a yellow, white or pink pouch. The flowers have twisted petals and large, deep lips, arranged singly or in pairs on upright stems to 30cm high

Plants require a rich, moist but well drained soil in a semi-shaded position. They are ideally planted in a woodland shady border.
