The largest flowered of all the Cyps, with pale yellow blooms on tall stems. The last to bloom for us, starting here in late May into June, lasting for one-and-a-half to three weeks, depending on weather conditions. One of the easiest to grow, over time. C. kentuckiense will form large clumps and persist for years. A native of Kentucky and ranging south to Louisiana, it can be grown successfully as far north as Zone 3. It is the most tolerant of high summer soil temperatures. In the wild it is found growing in rich neutral moist-but-well-drained soil.

Zones 4-8. 15-28 in. Light shade, moist rich well-drained soil, with approximately neutral pH.

We are offering three sizes:

Flowering size (FS) plants with at least one blooming stem and well-developed root system.

FS-NF plants that are either blooming or large near-blooming plants.

Near-Blooming (NF) plants that have a well-developed root system and are at least 1-2 years away from blooming.
