Tricyrtis 'Minazuki' (not to be confused with 'Miyazaki') is a delightful selection of the hairless Tricyrtis hirta var. masamunei from Kyushu, Japan. Narrow golden leaves adorn the 20" stems, forming a very compact small clump. As the summer progresses, the leaves develop a thin green border along with a few green streaks in the leaves. Starting in September (NC), Tricyrtis 'Minazuki' is adorned with pale lavender flowers, both terminally and in the leaf axils. Tricyrtis 'Minazuki' is the more stable form of the highly streaked Tricyrtis hirta 'Lightning Strike'.
