I don’t fuss with perennials (anymore). To live in my garden they must look after themselves…
The Toad lily (Tricyrtis hirta) does , and blooms in the autumn…..
fabulous with the club moss (Selaginella kraussiana ‘Aurea’) below.
According to Allan Armitage (THE perennial expert) they got the common name ‘toad lily’ from the fact that members of the Tasaday Tribe in the Philippines, their native habitat, rub their hands with the juice of the flowers and foliage before going to capture frogs.
I love Toad Lilly. There was a ton of it in my old garden– all started from one 4″ pot. It reseeded like crazy into the most interesting places where I’d never have been able to get it to grow. I’d love to have it again.
