The Story
This, to us, is the gateway toadlily, an intriguing herbaceous perennial that turned us on to so many others worthy of growing. To 18” tall with weeping foliage of shiny bright green and, beginning in mid summer, large, 1” yellow flowers, bell-shaped and sometimes with minute polka dots or raspberry spreckles. A must-have in the garden for the scale and colors, the flowers sometimes continuing into December. Slower than some other species, but well worth it. Enjoys summer moisture, rich soil, and, for us, dappled late afternoon shade to avoid leaf burn. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6.
