Growing Hardy Orchids

by John Tullock

Winner of an American Horticultural Society Book Award, Growing Hardy Orchids was acclaimed in Plant Science Bulletin as “a delightful horticultural book that should give lovers of native plants the encouragement to grow some of the most charming of native plants: temperate orchids.” An authority on hardy orchids, John Tullock has written a book for adventurous gardeners with an appreciation for temperate orchid species and native wildflowers. Although they have a reputation for being challenging to cultivate, in truth, most hardy orchids are no more so than roses. This is great news for gardeners, who will enjoy filling their gardens with the enchanting fragrances, vibrant color displays, and long-lived blooms of terrestrial orchids. Tullock presents a catalog of 103 hardy and half-hardy orchids, with detailed information on cultivation, propagation, and conservation, plus lists of suppliers and organizations offering nursery-propagated plants.
