Bletila purpurea is a terrestrial orchid species which ranges from Florida to Brazil. The plant growth can get 12” to 18” tall and is winter-deciduous needing a dry rest until spring … water again when you see new growth reappearing. The 2” flowers are successive blooming over an extended period of time and are a dark purple with a darker purple lip. This plant can be grown outside in Zones 8b or higher or treated as a pot plant inside. For those in northern latitudes they can be put in the garden after the threat of frost is over and dug in the late fall similar to gladiolus. In early spring, the new growth shoots out of the planted bulbs and produces the beautiful flowers in mid-summer to fall.
