I have two pots of Bletilla striata, both of which have bloomed each of the
two years I have had them. I was worried that my weather was not cold
enough, but that has not been the case. I was thinking of planting one of
my plants into the ground, beneath a crotolaria bush (don't know which sp.
but its common name is "canary plant"). Any advice for growing Bletilla in
the ground?
