toad lily

Toad lilies (Tricyrtis 'Lightning Strike') should receive an average amount of water, approximately 1 inch per week. Water should be applied directly to the soil during dry periods, making sure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. On hot days, it may be necessary to water more frequently. During the winter months, watering should be reduced to keep the plant dormant. In general, check the soil each week and apply water only when the top inch is dry.

Toad lily (Tricyrtis 'Lightning Strike') prefers growing in a warm, sunny location. It should be exposed to at least 4 to 6 hours of indirect bright light every day, preferably during the morning and early afternoon hours. Avoid exposing the plant to direct, intense sunlight as this can be damaging. Direct sunlight can cause the foliage to scorch and turn brown.

For the Toad Lily (Tricyrtis 'Lightning Strike'), pruning is not necessary. If desired, trim away any dead or damaged foliage in early spring, before new growth begins. This variety tends to form clumps with age, so divide the crowns or remove excess shoots in late summer, after flowering has finished.
