Cultivar Notes -
Gilt Edge
This variegated selection raises the bar in Tricyrtis breeding. The foliage remains consistantly clean all season and demonstrates superior vigor, even in late summer.

True to its name, ‘Gilt Edge’ has green, lance-shaped leaves edged in creamy yellow. The gracefully arching stems support these leaves which are arranged in a ladder-like fashion.

Beginning in late summer, white, orchid-like flowers heavily spotted and streaked with purple appear. They are a welcome site considering most other plants are finished for the season by this time.

Genus Notes -
Tricyrtis
Toad-lilies are exotic-looking and rewarding plants for late-season display in the shady garden. Native to the Himalayas to eastern Asia, they grow naturally at the edge of forests, preferring shade and rich, moist soil, hardy enough to handle the sudden changes of winter.

Excellent woodland or shade garden plants. Plants form clumps of tall, gracefully arching, stems with terminal and axillary orchid-like flowers. Perfect for late summer bloom.
