Tricyrtis hirta
Plant number: 1.522.050
Toad-lilies are unique but easy perennials for growing in shady areas. Leafy, arching stems produce a fall display of bizarre star-shaped flowers, often marked with spots of dark purple. They deserve a special place where they can be appreciated up close, like beside a patio or at the edge of a bed. This species features white to pale lilac flowers, spotted with dark purple, over green foliage. Beautiful in the garden, but also useful for cutting. Clumps may be easily divided every 3 to 4 years in early spring. Pinching in mid summer will produce a more compact flowering clump.
