Bletilla Striata

(Chinese Ground Orchid) A  beautiful addition to the shaded area of your garden, which also protects it from the hot summer sun and shelters it when we have late frosts that want to spoil the beautiful orchid blossoms. A generous layer of mulch will keep them happily sending up spikes of magenta, white, and pale rose colored blossoms. There is also a Rare Yellow Bletilla (seed grown) from China. Blossoms are smaller and very dainty. The foliage on all varieties looks similar to aspidistra foliage.

Bletilla Striata (Chinese Ground Orchid): Magenta blossoms on 12-18" stems. Spring bloomer, prefers a moist ,but well draining shady place to show off the lovely flowers. Ship in late summer/fall.......... $6.00 per rhizome.

Bletillas Yellow: Seed grown. Various shade of creamy yellow with darker stripes and streaks on the lips. Long bloom season, requires shady place with moisture retaining soil ( not soggy). Blooms spring. Ship: Aug.-Oct............$25.00

Bletilla Rosea: White with a pretty shade of rose-pink on lips. Culture and bloom time same as for Straita and the yellow Bletillas. Ship: Aug.-Oct........$7.00
