Bletilla striata

Bletilla striata, hardy orchid, in flower

This lovely hardy orchid from East Asia is a perfect beginner’s plant. Grow it in a pot using well drained media (I would suggest about 50% compost and 50% coarse perlite) in partial shade, add some fertiliser and it’ll flower reliably every summer. Water generously in the summer, but they do like to be on the dry side in winter. If you are unsure, I would overwinter them in an unheated greenhouse.
