Description

Bletilla striata is an eye-catching hardy orchid with fragrant white flowers blushed with violet that appear in late spring to early summer. Each upright stem bears up to a dozen flowers, rising above pleated, strap-shaped leaves. Spreading gradually via rhizomes, it forms larger clumps over time, bringing more blooms each year. Thriving in reliably damp soil, it’s an excellent addition to bog gardens, moisture-retentive borders or containers, combining exotic charm with ease of cultivation. Ultimate height and spread: 30cm to 50cm (12 to 20in).

How to Grow
Grow Bletilla in humus-rich, fertile soil in dappled shade. Although hardy, it will be most successful in a sheltered site, avoiding frost pockets and strong sunlight. Tubers require shallow planting of just 2cm below soil level. In particularly cold areas, grow it in a container which can be moved to a cool, frost free position over winter.

For more information and guidance check out our Gardening Guides.

More Info
Feed and water regularly when plants are in active growth. In autumn, apply a dry mulch of leaf mould, bark chips or straw to protect the tubers from cold winter weather. Move containers of Hyacinth Orchids to a cold conservatory or unheated greenhouse, keeping the compost barely while plants remain dormant.
