    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This toad lily has an arching habit and large beautiful flowers. The narrow petals are white with pink tips and the wider petals are pink fading white at the bottom. Tiny purple spots throughout. 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.

    Tricyrtis ‘Tosui’ displays exotic white flowers with violet tips and speckling on arching stems. This is a compact, mounding perennial with shiny green foliage. If you need a fall blooming plant for the shade garden, Tricyrtis is a great choice. It prefers a moist but well-drained garden soil. Toad Lilies are generally late to emerge in spring.
