Tricyrtis
Toad Lily
A small but beautifully formed fall blooming perennial flower is the common toad lily. This very hardy plant prefers part to full shade for optimum growth. The leaves are lance shaped, some dark solid green, other varieties have a cream to yellow edging. Orchid shaped flowers sit atop arching stems above the foliage. Their flower colors include white, lavender, and pink, usually spotted and/or streaked with purple spots.
Planted in masses, they present a unique fall look, and make very sweet delicate cut flowers.
Fertilize in spring with a slow release fertilizer, then enjoy their special fall showing!
