A lovely plant with great garden attributes and yet little-known by gardeners. Toad lilies flower late in the season when everything else is winding down; flower in deep shade; and need little maintenance apart from regular watering. "The baby plant that I purchased in October 2020 is now flowering well. It's a tiny treasure" - Valerie, The Gap QLD - see the image gallery for her photo
