Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the most upright of all the toad lilies we have grown, it can reach 4 feet at times. Lavender orchid-like flowers are freckled with purple, blooming in late summer and autumn. Minimum temperature: -20 °F
Kindly shared with us by Leonard Foltz of Dancing Oaks Nursery. The height of the plant scared me at first, knowing how floppy and bendy some varieties can be. Growing 'Woodland' for 2 years, I've been impressed, to say the least; the stems are positively sturdy and upright. They might not stand up to a hurricane, but nestled between shrubs, they won't need other support and brighten up the darker greenery of the shrubs and their own foliage.
