I couldn't have said it better. When traveling through the subway stations in Japan, I was delighted to see Tricyrtis commonly used as a cut flower. In my garden these varieties act as a curious groundcover. Top flowering varieties are best looked down upon and the axillary types fit best by a woodland border. As with many families there are dwarfs and there are giants.
Flowers are large and primrose yellow with tiny burgundy flecks.
This plant is slow, rare, and very hard to find. It sports lavender flowers with darker purple banding. As Tricyrtis are amongst the latest bloomers in the garden, your siting of the plants should avoid frost pockets. You should also know when most of the toad-lilies bloom as some are not suitable for some early frost gardens. One of the benefits of being a plantsman is seeing cultivated plants in their native habitat.
