Epipactis gigantea 'Serpentine Night', Stream Orchid Size:0.5 qt Augustine Henry (1857-1930) who foundA euphonious quartet of purple green to black leaves, and orange, light yellow, and pink orchid flowers make this a must for any collector. This west coast native is exotically moody in color, and wonderfully prolific in a water feature. For best color, grow in sun with lots of water. This orchid does just fine in soils outside the water, as long as it is watered regularly. Mature size: 16 in T x spreading Minimum temperature: 30 F
