Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: The species ranges from Texas to New England. So, even though it's best classified as a cold growing species, it isn't a fussy one. It survives blazing southern summers and Zone 6 winters. I grow them in a mix of coir, vermiculite, and perlite in a self-watering pot and store the rhizomes in the fridge for the winter. But many people just plant them in whatever soil they happen to have and ignore them.
Comments: This is a spontaneous pollination between my two blooming-size plants. They came as divisions from the collection of a native plant grower in Arkansas, so this is most likely a selfing.
Parent plant: Large plant.
