🌸 Product Description
Cymbidium Orchid Seeds, also known as Boat Orchid Seeds, Winter Blooming Orchid, or Cold-Hardy Orchid Mix, produce elegant, long-lasting blooms in a range of stunning colors—from soft pastels to vivid reds and greens. Known for their graceful flower spikes and strap-like foliage, Cymbidiums are among the most popular orchids for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
These orchids are prized for their long bloom season, often flowering during cooler months when most other plants are dormant. Ideal for windowsills, conservatories, shaded patios, and temperate gardens, they add a refined, tropical touch to any space.
