TRICYRTIS formosana ‘Autumn Glow’
Toad Lily
height: 24-26″
zone: 4
habit: erect clump
Impressive variegation is what sets this toad lily apart from older cultivars. Very wide yellow leaf margins Orchid-like, reddish-purple to blue-violet speckled blossoms appear from late summer into early fall in the north, midsummer in the south. An excellent perennial for adding late-season color to the shade garden. Best in humus-rich, evenly moist soil in partial to full shade. It tends to be a late riser, so do not worry if you do not see this plant coming up with other perennials in early spring. Your patience will be greatly rewarded.
