Description
The Epipactis 'Sabine' is a hybrid garden orchid resulting from a cross between the giant Epipactis or giant Helleborine, an American species, and the marsh Epipactis, a European species found in French soil. Reasonably easy to grow and vigorous, it quickly forms colonies where it thrives. Its fairly tall floral stems, with dense foliage, bear flowers in a mix of yellow, red, and pink. Plant it in neutral to acidic, well-drained, light, fresh to moist soil, ideally in full sun or partial shade.
The Epipactis 'Sabine' belongs to the orchid family. It is the result of a cross between Epipactis gigantea and Epipactis palustris. Its first parent is native to the western states of America and northern Mexico. In nature, it grows along the edges of watercourses, in permanently damp to moist humus-bearing soils. Its second parent is native to Europe and Asia. It grows in moist places, in full light, in clear and humid undergrowth up to 1,500 m altitude. 'Sabine' is a perennial plant with fleshy rhizomes, easily reaching 80 cm in height and 40 cm in width. Its deciduous vegetation emerges from the ground in spring and disappears in autumn. It consists of stems with 4 to 12 sheathing and lanceolate leaves measuring 5 to 15 cm long. Flowering takes place from June to August, and can be more or less early depending on the climate. The floral stem bears up to 15 flowers with a diameter of 3.5 cm. Each flower has three sepals and two petals. The labellum is cup-shaped with a pointed protuberance. The flowers range in shades of yellow, red, and pink. The flowering is followed by the formation of a pendulous capsule measuring 2 or 3 cm long containing thousands of tiny seeds.
The Epipactis 'Sabine' is not afraid of the cold and appreciates sunny but not scorching exposures, where its flowering is more abundant. Although it has an original appearance, it is also a plant with a natural look, easy to integrate into the garden, in cool to moist beds or along the edge of water points. As it forms dense, fairly tall plants, don't hesitate to associate them with willowherbs, meadowsweets, Japanese primroses, and astilbes that appreciate the same conditions and make beautiful subjects. Also consider Osmundas, ferns that grow in sunny, moist soil.
When you receive your orchids, handle them with care: these plants produce few roots and are delicate!

Planting and care
The cultivation of the Epipactis 'Sabin'e is relatively easy if one recreates its habitat: the bank of a stream or pond on a rocky subsoil in a humus-bearing and peaty, porous soil, consistently moist to wet, preferably acidic. It fears suffocating, heavy, clayey soils that are not well-aerated and impermeable. This plant appreciates full sun or partial shade. In the ground, its roots fear stagnant moisture in winter. Use a mixture of 60% peat soil, 20% horticultural compost, and 20% coarse sand in a pot. It will be necessary to ensure that the substrate remains consistently moist.
It needs water constantly but without stagnant humidity, which can be fatal in winter. However, the soil should never completely dry out. Pay attention to watering in summer, especially if the plant is exposed to the sun. Avoid scorching exposures, such as the afternoon sun in warmer climates.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
