Tricyrtis formosana 'Samurai'
Toad LilyThis compact selection is grown as much for its attractively variegated, green and golden yellow foliage as its interesting blossoms. Orchid-like, white flowers with a yellow throat and heavy purple spotting are a welcome sight, appearing after many other perennials are finished. Survives even in dry shade conditions.
