Cymbidium Hugh Gordon ‘Freckles’

Cymbidium Hugh Gordon 'Freckles' is a miniature-flowered Cymbidium hybrid, selected for flower quality and dense, clearly defined freckling across the petals and sepals. It gives each flower a high-contrast look that stands out from plain-coloured Cymbidiums.

About this plant

• Grex: Hugh Gordon is a well-regarded Australian hybrid. 'Freckles' is the clone, chosen for its spotting pattern.
• Flowers: Balanced Cymbidium form with pronounced freckling. Flower colour and spike count may vary slightly with plant maturity and seasonal conditions.
• Flowering: Winter to spring, once the plant reaches flowering size. Spikes carry multiple flowers.
• Size: Compact to intermediate plant.

Growing conditions

• Climate: Suits cool to intermediate temperatures and southern Australian conditions. It needs cool autumn nights to initiate spiking and is not suited to warm climates.
• Light: Bright filtered light: 30–50% shade cloth or dappled outdoor shade. Avoid direct midday sun.
• Humidity: Moderate to high.
• Water: Water freely during spring and summer growth. Reduce frequency in winter, keeping the medium just moist.
• Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser fortnightly during the growing season. Taper off through late autumn and winter.
