Toad lilies are wonderful plants for the late summer and fall shade garden. Most grow on elegant arching stems often with lightly mottled foliage. They produce multitudes of ornate orchid-like flowers that are usually white (sometimes yellow) with various degrees of purple spotting.

Our favorite Toad Lily, with ivory white flowers accented by lavender-tinted stamens. Blooms for us from late Aug-Oct. and seems to be more tolerant of drier soils.
