A form of Tricyrtis hirta selected in Japan. The yellowish leaves are streaked with green
(or vice versa) . Pale lilac flowers are not produced freely. Makes an excellent display in a glazed pot
, but needs repotting regularly to keep its vigour. Missouri Botanical Garden say: "'Lightening Strike' is a compact, clump-forming cultivar that typically grows 16-24" tall on upright-arching stems and features small, lavender, lily-like flowers (1 inch long) and broadly ovate, stem-clasping, light green leaves (to 6" long) streaked with gold and darker shades of green. Flowers appear in late summer to early fall. Each flower has six showy tepals (similar appearing sepals and petals)." |
