Common Name: Toad Lily-Formosa.
Zone: (4) 5 to 8.
Part shade to Full shade.
Height: 24 inches tall, spread 18 to 24 inches.
Moderate growth, Herbaceous compact, clump-forming perennial.
White, heavily spotted, and streaked with purple, orchid-like flowers appear in late summer to early fall. Green, lance-shaped leaves, with irregular chartreuse to creamy yellow edges, are supported by arching stems. Foliage remains consistently clean all season and demonstrates superior vigor, even in late summer. Species spreads by stolons to form wide clumps.
Very long-lived and easy to grow, Tricrytis tends emerge later than most perennials in spring.
Tricrytis is easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil and performs best in organically rich, slightly acidic, evenly moist soil. Soil should not be allowed to dry out. Plant tricyrtis near the front of the border or along pathways where its unique flowers can be viewed at close range. Divide every 3 to 4 years in spring to maintain vigor.
