‘Mystical and opulent’ are words which perfectly describe these hardy orchids
Growing these exotic looking beauties need not be mystifying as they are in fact, surprisingly simple to grow in our climate. Plant in moist, fertile soil which is well-drained in partial shade and bletilla will thrive. These charming plants naturalise easily in the right area adding intrigue and beauty to your borders when they flower in June and July.
The Bletilla Penway Collection contains Bletilla 'Penway Sunset grex', Bletilla striata 'Penway Dragon grex' and Bletilla striata 'Penway Brigantes'. Commonly known as the Hyacinth Orchid or Chinese Ground Orchid, these hardy deciduous plants grow from tuber like pseudo bulbs into clumps with ribbed, sword like leaves, reaching a height of up to 60cm and a spread of up to 30cm.
These wonderful perennials can also be grown in pots, allowing you to bring them undercover for added winter protection. Outdoor grown Bletilla should be protected with mulch or fleece
