Description
Bletilla striata ‘Kuchibeni’ features clumps of lovely white flowers with lavender lips, displayed on tall stalks. Kuchibeni actually means ‘amazing lipstick’ in Japanese. The leaves are broadly ribbed and iris-like. Very hardy and easy to grow.
Grows almost anywhere but prefers a rich, well-drained soil with adequate moisture. Water during growing season. This is not a plant for the dry shady garden.
