| Hope nobody minds my mentioning that I tend to have better luck when I buy from nurseries closer in climate to where I live. The plants seem less likely to survive, especially if they're from someplace warmer than my area. Not sure if it applies to these plants, but I would think it would. Unfortunately I don't have sources for these too close to where you are, but you might check native plant nurseries on GardenWatchdog and/or nurseries in your area. If you do this, you'll also want to check the ratings before you order. I had one site in Minnesota in my browser favorites. They don't have lady slipper, I've never used them, and they're not rated on Garden Watchdog. Sorry, but that's the best I seem to have to offer as an alternative. It's http://www.morningskygreenery.com. I think even something a bit more northern might work. Maybe somebody out there knows of some more northern sources. |
