Tricyrtis, commonly known as toad lily, is a shade-loving perennial prized for its exotic, orchid-like flowers that bloom in late summer and fall. These unique, speckled blooms appear above graceful foliage and add unexpected color and interest to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and mixed perennial beds. Toad lilies perform best in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, bringing refined texture and seasonal beauty to garden landscapes.
