Tricyrtis hirta Albomarginata - Toad Lily

Plant your Albomarginata Trycirtis hirta in a fairly shaded position however, it can be planted in light sun north if watering is consistent and the soil remains constantly moist.

Plant it in a cool, humus-bearing, fairly rich, slightly acidic or neutral soil, sheltered from the wind that would bend the tall flower stalks, both in open ground and in pots. Flowering will be later if the summer is dry, returning with the September rains, which is not a problem in regions where autumn is mild and long. However, when frost comes early, a late flowering will be destroyed by the cold. In this case, the soil should not completely dry out in spring and summer, which means that the plant should be regularly watered during periods of summer drought. A mulch will help keep the plant's base cool.

Caution, young shoots are often targeted by small grey slugs. Spread ash, crushed eggshells, or if not available, granules suitable for organic farming (which are not harmful to animals that consume slugs).
