BLETILLA STRIATA

Bletilla striata, commonly known as the hardy pink orchid, is a stunning perennial that reaches a height of 35cm. This orchid is best grown in humus-rich, half-shaded locations where it can be protected from late frosts, which it is sensitive to.

Bletilla striata often flowers better in a pot, making it an excellent choice for container gardening. Its graceful, pink blooms add an exotic touch to any garden, evoking the look of tropical orchids with the hardiness to survive in more temperate climates. Ideal for woodland gardens or shaded borders, this plant combines beauty with resilience, rewarding gardeners with its delicate, long-lasting flowers.
