Toad Lily

This shade-tolerant perennial bears intricate, orchid-like flowers in late summer and autumn, one of the few perennials that blooms reliably in partial to full shade when the main perennial season is winding down.

• Rhizomatous perennial, spreading by stolons.
• Erect, somewhat zig-zagging stems.
• Glossy leaves are variegated dark green with irregular yellow margins.
• Star-shaped purple flowers are heavily freckled with darker spots.
• Foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season.
• Best in partial shade to full shade with moist, average, well-drained soil.
