SPIRANTHES cernua odorata 'Chadds Ford'
|
Description: Growing to about 3 feet tall in bloom, this native orchid has vanilla scented white blossoms packed in a spiral fashion along the stems. The blooms of this selection are larger than those of the species, Spiranthes cernua, which is found throughout eastern North America. 'Chadds Ford' prefers soggy soil. However, it is very easy to grow and will do perfectly well in any rich, moisture-retentive soil, in sun or shade. Given these conditions, it will multiply by stolons in no time at all. Originally found in a wet ditch in the 60’s by Dick Ryan near his hometown of Bear, Delaware.
