Bring an exotic touch to your garden with Bletilla striata, a hardy ground orchid that rewards with fragrant pink blooms from late spring into early summer. Each upright stem carries multiple orchid-like flowers above attractive pleated, strap-shaped leaves, creating a graceful and colourful display. Over time, it forms clumps through spreading rhizomes, ensuring more flowers return year after year. Surprisingly easy to grow, Bletilla striata thrives in reliably moist, humus-rich soil and suits bog gardens, damp borders, or patio containers. Hardy and low maintenance, it is best planted in a sheltered spot with dappled shade, where its delicate flowers and lush foliage bring both elegance and resilience to the garden. An excellent choice for gardeners looking for something both unusual and reliable. How to Grow Instructions: Light: Dappled shade; avoid strong midday sun.
