Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This unique cultivar has primrose yellow flowers heavily speckled with purple and bronze. The stamens and pistils are creamy white. The large, glossy green leaves are heavily veined and arranged like a ladder up its wonderfully arching stems from which the upward-facing flowers emerge. ‘Golden Leopard’ blooms in summer, earlier than most other toadlilies.
One of my personal favorites with cinnamon brown spots on translucent golden flowers sort of like a snicker doodle cookie. 16" tall.
