Tricyrtis 'Amanogawa' is an old Japanese hybrid of Tricyrtis perfoliata x Tricyrtis hirta, that's surprisingly difficult to find. The arching genes from the Tricyrtis perfoliata parent makes this toad lily perfect to arch over a rock or through ferns. The stems are clothed, from very late summer through early fall, with brown speckled leaves, leading to the creamy yellow, lightly speckled, orchid-like flowers at the end of each stem. "Amanogawa" is Japanese for "Milky Way Galaxy."
