Blue Dragon Terrestrial Orchid
Bletilla
Discovered years ago in Japan’s Wakayama region and plagued by rumors of being too temperamental, this chic seed-grown terrestrial Orchid is easy to grow, but still hard to find. The appealing medium green clump hosts enchanting blue-violet blossoms that are a beacon of sophistication for containers or jewel box plantings. Bletilla adore dappled shade, heavy winter mulch and evenly moist, well-drained sites, while withstanding occasional drought.
Blooms April–July
Size: 15" – 2' 0" high x 12" wide.
