Miyazaki Toad Lily

Although the foliage makes this tidy plant an attractive addition to the shade garden, the flowers of Miyazaki hairy toad lily (Tricyrtis hirta 'Miyazaki') are so unusual that they must be viewed up close. They are white with pale purple spots, and they occur in clusters all along the stems in the leaf axils. What an amazing plant! Use it where its orchidlike flowers can be appreciated, as an accent plant or container plant. This is a fall-blooming perennial with striking, unusual flowers.
