Toad Lily

This robust toad lily forms a sizeable clump of extra-large, glossy green leaves on upright arching stems. Unlike most, the flowers are unspotted and clear white in color, flushed with lavender at the petal edges with a yellow throat. They also appear a bit earlier than most, beginning in late summer.
