This beautiful Bletilla striata, delivered on a rhizome, is an earth orchid that, just like its cousin, the equally beautiful Bletilla Alba, is really not to be missed. What an exotic purple, pink color this flower has and what a great shape it has with its cup-like appearance. You are almost enchanted by her beauty. In June and July she will shine in your garden, where she likes to be in full sun or in a place with partial shade.

She will grow to a height of about 30 to 40 cm and you can also simply pot her. Her leaves have a beautiful elegant shape, wonderfully fresh green with a fine white edge around them.  Give this incredible Bletilla striata a place in your garden where it is moist and let it bloom and shine for you.
