Bletilla striata

These easy to grow, beautiful and hardy, deciduous garden orchids have light green, iris-like foliage.  On established plants, almost every new growth shoot has a flower spike before leaves fully develop.  Each shoot can have up to fourteen beautiful rose-mauve flowers with a ruffled lip about 3 cm in diameter, scentless and looking something like a miniature Cattleya orchid flower. An established clump can have literally dozens of flower spikes flowering in the late Spring and the clumps only increase in beauty with time.  Keep them well-mulched during winter.

Planting & Fertilizing
It is extremely important to make sure there is good drainage where you plant your bulbs and that you fertilize the bulbs 3 times with a well-balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer.  Fertilize once when planting, once when they just come above the surface and once right after flowering.
