Chinese Ground Orchid Collection
Chinese Ground Orchid Collection
Groundbreaking Blooms that can grow in most zones!
Don't let their delicate looks fool you!
These exquisite flowers may look fussy, but they'll thrive in borders, containers and rock gardens with minimal care. Simply plant them in a well-drained area and protect them from extreme cold.
Easy-Care Orchids Do Exist!
If you've never grown a Chinese Ground Orchid, also called Bletilla, you're in for a treat. Each shoot can produce up to 14 exotic blooms with heavily ruffled lips. Not only are these delicate beauties easier to grow than any other orchid variety, but because they grow in the ground, they're able to withstand much colder temperatures than their tree-dwelling cousins. In fact, the three varieties in this brand new collection will thrive even in zones 5 and 6 with only a little winter mulch as protection. Ground Orchid foliage makes an attractive display when the pretty pastel flowers aren't in bloom, and your collection will increase in size and beauty over time.
These spectacular Chinese ground orchids may be easy to grow, but they're not always easy to find! We've secured a limited supply from our grower for this very special offer. Please order soon to avoid disappointment.
