Japanese Toad Lily

White, orchid like flowers with a soft pink blush. The petals are decorated with maroon spotting. The flowers are 2.5-3cm across.

The dark green leaves spread up the stems in an attractive fashion. Each leaf grows to around 12cm.

Toad Lilies are a woodland plant that require a humus rich, moist but well drained soil in semi shade to filtered light. Water to establish and keep moist during active growth. Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms.

Whilst Toad Lilies or Tricyrtis sp. look like Orchids, they are in the Lily family. It is variably suggested they are commonly known as Toad Lilies because they like to grow where Toads live; or because they are spotted like toads; or because of their lumpy nectaries.
