Tricyrtis 'Lilac Towers'



A pretty flower, more lily than toad. Grows tall and performs well in bright conditions, but flops and sprawls in the shade. I bought it from Barracott Plants shortly before it flowered.

Dan Heims says:

"Tricyrtis ‘Lilac Towers’ is one of the smaller selections, growing to about eighteen inches tall, but with a rather upright bushy habit and spotted leaves. The flowers are liberally spotted with dark purple oval spots that are larger at the base of the petals; the yellow coloring at the base of the petals is quite marked in this flower."
