Sometimes sold under the name ‘Hototogisu’ (we’ve erroneously done so), Seiryu Toad Lily is one of the more robust and easy to grow selections. We absolutely love this shade perennial’s multitude of orchid-like blooms. It flowers in late summer and fall on sturdy 2 foot stems. Its blooms have colors of white and lavender with burgundy spots at the base. We’ve had a plant in our garden for over 10 years now and it only gets better with age. Divide the clumps every 4-5 years to maintain vigor and flower production.
