Cypripedium Ulla Silkens is one of the most vigorous and robust hardy lady's slipper hybrids for the garden. It even can withstand the effects of climate change to some extent. Due to its hairy leaves it can grow a bit sunnier than most other cypripediums. It tolerates wetter conditions at the edge of a pond as well as drier conditions and heat for some time. It is hardy down to USDA zone 4 and even grows well north of the Arctic Cycle (last picture).
Good fertilization is needed for producing such huge clumps as shown on the pictures. For more information and sources of supply please refer to my website www.cypripedium.de

FAQ:

Shall I remove the old blooms after flowering?

Yes, it is better to do so. Hold the uppermost green leaf in one hand and pull the flower down with the other hand. It breaks easily at the correct point, the base of the leaf.

Should I fertilize the garden orchids or not?

Fertilize your lady’s slipper orchids regularly, necessary for strong growth. Use any granulated commercial garden fertilizer regularly in spring; best are those with a long-term effect. Apply the same quantity as for other perennials too, not less. Leaf coloration is a good indicator; leaves should always be bright green. A yellowish green indicates nutrient deficiency or too much sun. Compost is not recommended. Orchid fertilizers do not contain enough nutrients.

Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Slugs can wreak havoc within one night. Particularly during springtime special protection is indispensable. The safest methods for controlling slugs are a slug fence or a barrier consisting of a vertically mounted copper plate (a few centimetres high), alternatively Etisso® Slug & Snail-Lentils.
