Tricyrtis hirta 'Miyazaki' (Miyazaki Toad Lily)
Light Shade to Shade Zone: 4-8 24" tall Origin: Japan
Tricyrtis hirta 'Miyazaki' is a strain of the Japanese native Tricyrtis hirta that was selected for its shorter, more arching habit than the typical species. In late summer and early fall, the 1" purple and white spotted, orchid-like flowers burst forth in the leaf axils. Slightly moist soils are best, although Tricyrtis hirta can endure extended droughts by diminishing its flower production. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #01510

Tricyrtis hirta var. masamunei 'Precious Medal' (Precious Medal Toad Lily)
Light ShadeZone: 4-8, at least 8" tall Origin: Japan
NEW!
Most times when you grow plants from seed, you know what to expect, but every now and then a surprise comes along, as was the case when we sowed seed of Tricyrtis 'Minazuki'. We wound up with hundreds of seemingly identical bright gold dwarf toad lilies. Tricyrtis 'Precious Medal' is quite different from the other gold forms we have grown, since it reaches only 8", has much brighter golden foliage, and is quite vigorous. The clumps are topped with light lavender, orchid-like flowers in late summer. We are introducing this as a seed strain since we still cannot see an iota of difference in the batch. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

Tricyrtis lasiocarpa (Amethyst Toad Lily)
Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7-9 36" tall Origin: Taiwan
(aka: Tricyrtis formosana 'Amethystina') This is one of the most spectacular toad lilies for warmer climates. In the wilds of Taiwan, we saw this growing atop rock cliffs in nearly full sun, reinforcing our experience that this is not a deep shade lover. Tricyrtis lasiocarpa makes a tight clump of 3' tall, upright, ladder-like stems clothed with green and purple speckled glossy foliage. From midsummer until early fall, the clump is topped with multiple-branched, large, terminal sprays of 1" white, orchid-like flowers with tips of amethyst and blue. This toad lily was originally introduced by John Elsley of Wayside Gardens under the incorrect name, Tricyrtis formosana 'Amethystina' (an extinct clone of the running species). Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #01050

Tricyrtis ohsumiensis 'Lunar Eclipse' (Lunar Eclipse Toad Lily)
Light Shade to ShadeZone: 4-7, at least 8" tall Origin: Japan
NEW!
Tricyrtis 'Lunar Eclipse' is a selection of the dwarf Japanese Tricyrtis ohsumiensis, which forms a small tight rosette of basal green leaves that extend upward on a short 8" stalk. Each glaucous green leaf is edged in a narrow band of creamy white, and the clump is topped in September with large, up-facing, bright yellow flowers. Tricyrtis 'Lunar Eclipse' is a small grower that can easily get lost in a large overflowing garden, so site it carefully. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #08314
