Tricyrtis hirta 'Taiwan Adbane'

Tricytris, or Toad-lilies, are unique and easy perennials for growing in shady areas. Leafy, arching stems produce a fall display of bizarre star-shaped flowers, almost orchid-like, excellent for cutting. They deserve a special place where they can be appreciated up close, like beside a patio or at the edge of a bed. Tricyrtis Taiwan Adbane offers a delicate visual spectacle for shaded gardens with its exotic pale lavender blooms. Accentuated by dark spotting, its arching stems and mottled dark green leaves perfectly frame these intricate flowers. The pale yellow throat of each bloom enriches the overall visual aesthetic, making it a focal point in any garden setting. Blooms VERY LATE in the season.
