Tricyrtis hirta ‘Hatatogisu’

 

This Tricyrtis is purple spotted but otherwise much like other T. hirta in growth and form. Perfect addition to the late summer shade garden, and arouses a lot of interest – so keep it near a path or edge. Toad lilies are wonderful plants for the late summer and fall shade garden. Most grow on elegant arching stems often with lightly mottled foliage. They produce multitudes of ornate orchid-like flowers that are usually white (sometimes yellow) with various degrees of purple spotting.
