A pure white flowered hybrid with pale lavender anthers. Arching growth to about 18" tall. I think
this is one of the most elegant and garden worthy of the modern hybrids. Missouri Botanical Gardsen says: "'White Towers' is a compact, clump-forming cultivar that typically grows 16-30" tall on upright-arching stems and features small, pure white, lily-like flowers (1 inch long) and broadly ovate, stem-clasping, shiny, medium green leaves (to 4-6" long). Flowers bloom in the upper leaf axils and stem ends in late summer. Flowers bloom earlier (July-August in St. Louis) than most other toad lilies. Each flower has six showy tepals (similar appearing sepals and petals). 'White Towers' is varyingly sold as a cultivar of T. latifolia or T. hirta or as a hybrid." Farmyard Nurseries say: "A good pure white hybrid of this rather exotic looking plant. The starry flowers are borne in tall upright sprays during late summer and autumn. Prefers a semi shaded peaty soil. Good for woodland sites. One of the best of the whites. Height and spread 45-60cm (1.5-2′)" |
