Tricyrtis 'Empress' (Empress Toad Lily) - Large terminal flowers of white and spotted dark purple sit atop glossy green leaves in late summer to early fall, usually one of the last perennials to bloom. Ideally suited in morning sun to afternoon shade in a rich, acidic soil, ample mulch and even moisture. Tricyrtis do not tolerate dry conditions for a prolonged period, if so the fleshy rhizomes quickly resprout when watered thoroughly.
The information about Tricyrtis 'Empress' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
