Spiranthes 'Chadd's Ford'

Spiranthes 'Chadd's Ford', commonly known as Chadd's Ford lady's tresses, is a delicate, clump-forming terrestrial orchid with slender, grass-like green leaves. In late summer it produces small, spirally arranged white flowers with a subtle fragrance, creating a graceful, textured display in moist borders or naturalistic plantings.

This cultivar thrives in consistently moist, well-drained soil and provides ecological value by attracting specialist pollinators. Its compact, upright habit and tolerance of damp conditions make it well suited to bog gardens, pond margins, and woodland-edge plantings where delicate structure and late-season interest are desired.
