Invite orchids into your garden... 

Some orchids grow naturally in our countryside, but they’re protected. Now new propagation techniques are bringing them to your garden!

Whether you’re a passionate amateur or a beginning gardener, orchids are the stuff of dreams. Their peculiar shapes and the way they grow are so intriguing. But while exotic species adorn our interiors, others embellish natural meadows and forest edges! Although these terrestrial orchids are numerous in Europe, some of them are threatened with extinction. But new propagation techniques now make it possible to plant these surprising orchids in your garden.

Phytesia: A wide range of perennial orchids for exclusive and original gardens

Specialist in garden orchids, over the last 10 years Phytesia has developed a wide range of frost-resistant perennial orchids, currently offering more than 60 varieties with a diversity of colors, sizes or flowering periods.

We offer hardy varieties resistant to very vigorous winters (-20°C to -30°C) (Cypripedium, Dactylorhiza, Epipactis, Bletilla...) and semi-hardy varieties that can withstand light freezing (-10°C) (Calanthe, Pleione...) particularly suitable for pot cultivation or for regions with a Mediterranean climate.

Among the simplest to maintain in the garden, Bletilla plants settle and naturalize easily in non-calcareous soil. Dactylorhiza, spontaneous and very hardy in our regions, are undemanding about their substrate. Epipactis mostly prefer wetlands, and then multiply very rapidly with their underground rhizomes. Cypripedium are the most resistant perennial orchids to cold. Most species can withstand temperatures below -30°C. Calanthe and Pleione will thrive wherever ferns grow, with winter protection in very cold regions, and are very well adapted to pot cultivation.

Seeing an orchid bloom in the garden is always a gratifying sight and is a legitimate source of pride for the gardener who grew it.
