Hi,

Has anybody had any succes with this species. I wonder if anybody is succesfully cultivating it. Would love to give the species a try but cant seem to find any successtories that it germinated and is available from seed. Perhaps available through vegative propagation.
Or is it considdered to difficult

Epipactis except E. gigantea is very very difficult to germinate from seeds.

I wouldn't say so. It grows well if there are the suitable fungi in the ground but if not the plant disappears after 1 or 2 years
