The Toad Lily Mix, 'Tricyrtis', is a delightful mix of these extremely hardy and low-maintenance perennials. The exotic and orchid-like blooms appear densely speckled in rose-pink, magenta or purple on a lighter background. They prefer a shady spot and moist rich soil. They bloom profusely in a moist shade garden, producing dozens of florets on each stem from July through August. Toad Lilies are great for the shade garden where they tower gracefully above other perennials, like ferns and Astilbe and Hosta.
