They grow and flower each year here, (SE UK). A neighbour has a patch of the normal pink/magenta colour; mine in largish pots are the white variegated form. They spread quite a lot unless contained, and always end up round the edge of pots. More or less full sun for much of the day. Brian Whyer. I have a patch of white Bletilla striata flowering which surprised me because I’ve never had flowers before and forgot I had planted them. I planted them in 2011, probably from a colourful package from Holland. I wonder what made them decide to flower.
