This herbaceous perennial boasts a distinctive floral display with a feathery, fringed appearance. The blooms, emerging typically in midsummer, radiate a subtle, pale green hue. Each flower is elegantly strung along a slender, lengthy spike, reaching up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall. The leaves of green fringed orchid are narrow and lance-shaped, providing a modest backdrop to the elaborate flowering body. It thrives in sun-dappled environments, where the wet, acidic soil underfoot is generous in organic content, such as peat.
