Tricyrtis formosana ‘Samurai’
Plant number: 1.522.040Toad-lilies are exotic-looking but easy perennials for growing in shady areas. Leafy, arching stems produce a fall display of starfish-like flowers that are excellent for cutting. The species is native to Taiwan and prefers medium to wet, well-drained soil in part to full shade. This selection features purple flowers with darker purple spotting and a yellow throat, held above green leaves edged in golden yellow. Beautiful in the garden, but also useful for cutting.

Clumps spread slowly to form a small patch. Easily divided in early spring. Further details for |
