Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Tricyrtis 'Sinonome' is a toad lily with botanically intriguing flowers for the shady garden. Blooming from late summer to fall are clusters of small, one inch wide, orchid-like, creamy-white flowers with burgundy-purple freckles and blotches supported by ovate green leaves on arching stems. Plants will reach 30-36 inches tall and 12-24 inches wide. Virtually trouble free and low maintenance. A woodland treasure for the front to middle of the border, along pathways or in containers where the unique flowers can be viewed at close range.

Long esteemed in Japan for its elegant cut flowers, 'Sinonome' presents a pleasing vase-shaped clump of upright stems lined with lustrous, clean-looking dark green foliage. Emerging from buds the color of chocolate, white, upfacing blooms show off richly colored ruby freckles. One of the more heat and drought tolerant Toadlilies, this Tricyrtis could be planted next to Aster divaricatus.
