The Japanese Toad Lily, 'Tricyrtis Hirta', is a hardy perennial from Japan that is about 24-30" tall. This plant produces exotic, star-shaped blooms with purple markings. These fully hardy, ornate beauties resemble orchids. They are great for part or full shade in the border or as part of a woodland garden. They flower in autumn so they will bring a welcome splash of color to even dark shady spots.
