Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lemon yellow foliage with green edges provides great back-up for the star-like white flowers that are speckled with purple. 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.
