Brand: Emerald Goddess Gardens

Color: Purple Green

Features:

• Tricyrtis formosana Samurai or Toad Lily is a popular and interesting cultivar that has green leaves with a creamy gold toned variegation along the outer edge, and is likely the best known and most widely planted variety of the species. It blooms late in the summer and early fall with small, but infinitely interesting unique spotted flowers shaped like miniature orchids.
• The flowers of Toad Lily carry a lot of color punch and impact for something so tiny and petite. The plants burst into bloom in the early Fall, when many other plants are fading. The rich purple and yellow blooms are carried atop of tall spikes extended above the main body of the plant.
• Care: The Toad Lily is a low-maintenance perennial that thrives in partial to full shade. Too much sun can scorch its leaves. It requires rich, moist, and well-draining soil. This plant is not drought tolerant, so watering should be consistent. A layer of mulch can help to maintain soil moisture during drier periods.
• Indoor Growing: The Toad Lily is not recommended for long-term indoor cultivation, as it is a terrestrial perennial that requires a cold, dormant period to grow and bloom properly. It can be brought in briefly to display the unique flowers, but is best grown outdoors in a garden or as a container plant in a shaded area.
• Climate: This is a very hardy perennial recommended for USDA Growing Zones 4-9. The foliage will die back to the ground in colder zones during the winter, but the plant will return reliably in the spring, making it a great, long-lasting addition to a cool-climate garden.
