Sooooooooo excited! Just received an order of 3 Lady Slippers from Hillside Nursery. I have been trying to get these for a few years but was always too late. They are on the endangered plant list here in Massachusetts and cannot be taken from the wild. Hillside propagates them at their nursery and only offers so many each season for sale.
I chose 3 different locations in the yard, all perfectly suitable according to the directions, but with little variations in sunlight and moisture. One thing I've learned over the years is that plants do not always agree with me on what is considered a perfect home.
The root systems look beautiful so I am hopeful that they will all do well.
Gotta love spring!
I am new to this community and always wonder when reading other's posts what zone or state they are in, so I put my own state in the subject line.
