Nursery contributed plant descriptions

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.
