Toad Lily

Exotic, orchid-like blooms are white with deep pink spots.
Foliage is equally as appealing, being dark green with narrow yellow-cream margins, which gives interest to this plant all season long.
A late season bloomer- worth the wait!
Bloom Time

Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips
Useful in pond-side plantings where the area is constantly moist. Can grow quite nicely in a regular garden situation as long as it does not have to endure a long dry period. Will spread to make a nice colony, but should not be considered aggressive.
