BLETILLA STRIATA SHI-RAN
Grower Notes:
Bletilla Striata 'Shi-Ran' is commonly referred to as Shi-Ran Chinese Ground Orchid, Shi-Ran Hyacinth Orchid or Shi-Ran Hardy Orchid. This easy-to-grow perennial produces small, fragrant, cattleya-like, deep purple orchid flowers in late spring to early summer. It is a terrestrial orchid with shiny, pale green, papery-textured, sword-shaped leaves. Seedheads follow blooms turning brown as they mature.
Shi-Ran Chinese Ground Orchid thrives in part shade in organically rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It prefers dappled afternoon shade and regular moisture throughout its growing season. It naturalizes over time by short rhizomes and is ideal in partially shady borders or rock gardens.
