Pterostylis Baptistii (King Greenhood Orchid)

Pterostylis Baptistii (King Greenhood Orchid) is a striking Australian terrestrial orchid admired for its tall, elegant greenhood flowers and distinctive architectural form. Flowering from winter to spring, it produces translucent green blooms with fine brown to reddish markings, rising above a compact basal rosette of fresh green foliage. Its unusual flowers make it a standout feature in native orchid collections, woodland gardens, and shaded landscape settings.

Thriving in cool, moist, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter, Pterostylis Baptistii is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a unique, low-maintenance native orchid. It naturally enters dormancy during summer before re-emerging with the cooler seasons, rewarding growers with spectacular seasonal displays and long-term ornamental appeal.
