Beautiful glossy foliage and glossy yellow flowers. This Tricyrtis has an arching habit which lends itself to planting on a slope or in a raised bed where it can drape over the edge. Shade is an absolute must for this plant as too much sun will 'burn' the edges of the foliage.

Tricrytis are actually hardy to zone 5. Great color for the fall when not much is blooming. Great shade plant.
