Cymbidium Helen Bannerman Black Magic is an award-winning orchid hybrid celebrated for its elegant form and striking contrast in coloration. Each bloom features soft cream to pale yellow petals paired with a bold, velvety black to deep burgundy lip—creating a dramatic and refined appearance. This cultivar earned the AM/AOS (Award of Merit from the American Orchid Society), recognizing its exceptional floral quality and presentation.

This cool to intermediate-growing cymbidium thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers cooler night temperatures to initiate blooming. It grows best in a well-draining orchid mix, such as bark or sphagnum, and enjoys evenly moist conditions during the growing season with a slight reduction in water during winter rest. With proper care, Cymbidium Helen Bannerman Black Magic produces tall, upright flower spikes that can carry multiple long-lasting blooms—making it a prized centerpiece in any orchid collection.
