Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Introduced by Terra Nova in 1996, this wonderful toad lily has become somewhat uncommon recently. Bright golden foliage with purple sots emerges in spring and brightens up shady spots. In late summer to fall white flowers spotted with purple look like tiny orchids. Rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil is best.
