Sinonome Toad Lily

Three-foot tall stems clothed in glossy green leaves sport 1-inch white-and-purple marked flowers at the tip and along the top half of the stems from late September up to the first very hard frost. Like other toad lilies, it prefers soils that are consistently moist and partially shaded locations in the garden. Once established, this very old Japanese cultivar is more resistant to soil that sometimes get too dry. You may need to protect the plant from rabbits and deer until the root system is well established—they love toad lilies.
