Cymbidium Sarah Jean 'Paradise' – 'Frosty Tips'

A miniature cascading Cymbidium producing soft buttery-yellow flowers along arching spikes. This distinctive clone is notable for its stable white-tipped variegation, which remains visible on new growths and adds year-round interest even when the plant is not in flower.

These plants are struck backbulbs taken directly from the original mother plant and are not mericlones. Each plant carries the stable variegated characteristics of the original selection, including the distinctive frosted leaf tips that inspired the clone name.
