Too often overshadowed by the ever-popular Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium orchids offer just as much style, elegance and longevity.
Sold by the stem, they can be pricey, but they give excellent value for money. Cymbidium can last for up to three weeks and just a single stem can give that all essential wow factor.
Cymbidiums have an incredible pedigree, they are the oldest horticultural orchid in the world, and one of the most popular in cultivation. Their colour range is vast and varied: tawny brown, lime green, pure white, bright yellow, baby pink, the list goes on, all with distinctively marked throats often in contrasting colours.
Buying Cymbidium orchids
There are two sizes of cut cymbidium, mini and large. Mini cymbidiums are between 40-60cm in length, large 60-80 cm. As a guide, mini cymbidiums can have up to 20 flowers on stem, while the taller, larger flowered have between 8-14.
