Cypripedium 'Ulla Silkens Freckles' (clone #317)
C. reginae x C. flavum
'Frosch's Ulla Freckles' is an especially beautiful and vigorous selection of Cypripedium Ulla Silkens. It sports a creamier white and lots of pink spots on the lip of the slipper.
It is one of the most robust garden lady's slippers of all. It is extremely hardy to the effects of climate change because it doesn’t start coming up until comparatively late in the year, warm winter spells and late spring frosts will not affect it.
Similarly, it tolerates heat and sun in summer much better than other varieties and can even take morning and evening direct sun. It’s also relatively insensitive to temporarily wet or dry soil and can even tolerate quite damp soil. In short, it is the ideal plant for beginners and for spots where other hardy lady's slippers can no longer thrive!
Zones 3-6. 16-24 in. Light shade, cool moist rich well-drained soil.
