    Sprays of exotic-looking, purple-spotted white flowers from August to October and hairy, lance-shaped, pale green leaves. This fascinating toad lily is one of our recommended plants. Ideal for adding vertical interest in a sheltered, shady border or woodland garden, specimens grown in cold areas of the country appreciate a deep, dry winter mulch.

  • Garden care: In cold areas of the country provide a deep, dry, winter mulch around the crown of the plant. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring, while the plant is still dormant.
