Does well in zone 4a, but this may be because our plants are near the foundation of our house and insulated by pine needles. Unique flowers appear after most of our other plants are done for the year.

The information that was included with both my toad lilies said to keep soil moist, do not let soil dry out between waterings.

My best, and latest, fall bloomer. Will take almost total shade, but does need moisture. I have not had any problem with slugs.

I really enjoyed these blooming in my shade garden long after everything else had faded. I planted them late, in June, but they still came up and bloomed en masse in September and October. Very pretty little flowers resembling orchids.

I bought and planted this in late 2003, by the following spring it had grown back very nice with a good amount of multiplying.
Slugs do like this plant so you need to use something to control them but, regrowth is quick. This plant took a good beating from them until I saw what was going on.
Well worth the wait to see this one bloom.
