Tricyrtis

摘要

Pn autumn, when the garden takes on a faded look, Tricyrtis plants come into their own with their elegant, arching stems and subtle flowers. And given their preference for a sheltered site in partial or full shade with adequate moisture, they are alsoan excellent choice for those difficult-to-fill shady corners. Though known as toad lilies, their flowers are orchid-like, generally white with pink or purple spots, either star- or bell-shaped and somewhat waxen in appearance. There are also yellow forms such as the early flowering T. latifoiia, the petals of which are red-spotted, and types with alternating light and dark petals, including T. 'Tojen' and T. 'Adbane'.
