Plant description
Sprays of exotic-looking, purple-spotted white flowers from August to October and hairy, lance-shaped, pale green leaves. This fascinating toad lily is one of our recommended plants. 'Akachan' is ideal for adding vertical interest in a sheltered, shady border or woodland garden, specimens grown in cold areas of the country appreciate a deep, dry winter mulch.

How to care for Tricyrtis hirta Akachan:
In cold areas of the country provide a deep, dry, winter mulch around the crown of the plant. Once established, lift and divide congested clumps in spring, while the plant is still dormant.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
