Notes
Hardy calanthe orchid (Calanthe tricarinata) is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It stays evergreen, so it adds leaf color all year. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide, and it blooms in spring.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Wood sorrel, and Canadian hemlock.
