Calanthe species and hybrid
  |
Calanthe Open Days at Shikoku Garden We has Calanthe Open days mid to late April. Hundreds pots for display and thousand for sale. Our main breedings are Kozu hybrid (C.discolor x C.izu-insulalis). Kozu hybrids has wide range of color variations and has very good flegrance. Japanese grows calanthe in pot, mainly, because it is much easer to enjoy their flegrance. But they are very good plants for shade gardens. Most of calanthes are hardy avobe freesing. Depend on the breeding parents, they are much more hardy especially breed from C.discolor and C.tricarinata. Details in calanthe explanations in orchid list. |
