Tricyrtis macrantha subsp. macranthopsis
The toad lily is a beautiful and delicate flowering plant native to East Asia. Growing season begins in late summer and continues into autumn. Each stem of the toad lily can bear multiple blooms, each bright white and marked with deep purple. They bloom in small clusters of 6-9 flowers on stems reaching 12-18 inches in height. They prefer shady locations, with moist, well-drained soil, and are easy to care for. The toad lily adds a captivating touch to any woodland garden, adding a splash of color and light to the otherwise earthy tones.

watering
For Toad Lilies (Tricyrtis macrantha subsp. macranthopsis), water as necessary to keep the soil moist but not soggy. During the growing season, water deeply and thoroughly once every week or 2, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During the dormant season in cold winter months, reduce watering to once every 2 - 3 weeks.
sunlight
Toad lilies need sun to grow and flower. They prefer morning sun and dappled light during the afternoon, but can tolerate full sun exposures too. Plant them in a location that gets a minimum of 4 hours of direct sun each day, preferably morning sun. In hotter climates, you may need to give your toad lilies more shade during the afternoon in order to protect the flowers from sunburn.
pruning
When to Prune: Prune toad lilies in the early spring, before they start to actively grow. This will help keep them in check, shape them, and promote better flowering. How Much to Prune: For toad lilies, pruning should be fairly minimal. In the springtime, prune out dead or diseased stems, and trim back newly leggy shoots and stems to a manageable size. Additionally, you can lightly trim off any spent flower stems. This will help keep the plant looking tidy and encourage re-blooming into the fall.
