From Japan comes this splendid, but difficult to find, hybrid toad lily (Tricyrtis perfoliata x Tricyrtis hirta). The rigid, arching habit of the stem 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."
