Bletilla striata ‘Big Bob’
Blooming 2-3 weeks earlier than Bletilla ‘Kate’ (above), ‘Big Bob’ is the perfect plant to extend your blooming season of hardy terrestrial orchids. The long sword-like leaves are 4” wide at the base (2-3” wider than Kate’s foliage) so they fill out a garden bed nicely. ‘Big Bob’ has 2” rose-lavender blooms with white and dark lavender highlights on the lip. The flower spikes reach 36” tall with as many as 20 blooms per spike. It can be grown as a container plant, or a landscape specimen in zones 6-10.
Hardy Zone 6 and higher for outdoors.
Full or partial sun, grows to 3' in container, minimum temperature indoors 35°, blooms in summer.
