Tricyrtis (Toad Lily)

After years of obscurity, the toad lilies are finally getting the attention they deserve. Their summer and autumn bloom is very welcome in the garden. Some also have colorful foliage.

In addition to some uncommon species, we offer a few new Japanese hybrids, many which were bred for cut flower use.

Easy in woodsy soil in light to medium shade. Not drought tolerant.
