Tricyrtis hirta 'Lightning Strike' (Lightning Strike Toad Lily)

Light Shade to ShadeZone: 4-8 20" tall Origin: Japan

Open House/Web-Only! New crop available 9-9-2010 This unusual attention-getting selection of the commonly grown Tricyrtis hirta makes an outstanding feature in the woodland garden. The bright golden foliage is streaked with green on 2' tall arching stems. Even though the pattern of streaking is variable, we have had no green reversions in several years of trials. In early fall, the stems are highlighted with 1" light lavender, orchid-like flowers in the leaf axils. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
