Hardy Chinese Orchid (Bletilla striata) is also known as Ground Orchid and Chinese Ground Orchid. This once-rare plant is a true terrestrial orchid and thrives in part shade and moist, organically rich, well-drained soil. It grows to 1-1/2 feet tall and a foot wide and is widely beloved for its light green, lance-like foliage and spikes of delicate lavender-purple-pink flowers in April and May. It's effective in beds, borders, and in containers.
