Bletilla Striata F. Gebina | 9cm Pot

Ideal for the margins of a pond. Position: partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil Flowering period: April to June Hardiness: half hardy (will need winter protection) This is a beautiful orchid that is hardier than most. It slowly spreads to form leafy clumps, which from spring to early summer are crowned with sprays of pure white, bell-shaped flowers. It provides very attractive groundcover for the margins of a pond or bog garden. They also look smart in reliably moist soils in a woodland setting. Garden care: Once planted, leave undisturbed so they can spread. Apply a generous layer of mulch in the autumn.
