Bletilla striata 'Kuchibeni' (Purple Lip Hardy Orchid)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-10 15" tall Origin: E. Asia

Web-Only! This hard to find but easy-to-grow cultivar from Japan is distinguished by its two-tone flowers. The upper part of the flower is white, while the lip is a contrasting purple. The foliage and growth habit are the same as in the species. I have seen this occasionally, incorrectly offered as B. striata 'Alba', which should be solid white. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
