They prefer shade or part shade and rich, moist soil. Toad Lilies bloom in the fall. They are hardy enough to handle the sudden changes of Midwest(US) winters from mild to blustery cold.<ref>Cox, Jeff (1998 by Rodale Press) Perennial All-Stars: The 150 Best Perennials for Great-Looking, Trouble-Free Gardens, pg. 305 </ref> {{Inc| Tricyrtis (Greek, three convexities, referring to the nectar-bearing sacs at the base of the three outer perianth-segments). Liliaceae. Toad-Lilies. Half-hardy perennials, pretty garden plants; also used for pot culture. Rhizome short-creeping: sts. erect; simple below the infl., leafy: infl. terminal, or laxly dichotomous in the upper axils: fls. few, rather large, somewhat long-pedicelled; perianth usually beautifully spotted inside, campanulate, segms. distinct from the base, lanceolate, acute; stamens 6; ovary oblong, 3-cornered, 3-celled: caps. narrowly oblong, prominently 3-cornered, septicidally dehiscent, erect, usually more than 1 in. long.— About 9 species, native to Japan and Formosa. Monographed by J. G. Baker in Journal Linnaean Society, vol. 17, p. 463 (1879). T. grandiflora, Hort., should be compared with T. hirta var. nigra. It is a name scarcely known to botany. It is said to have orchid-like fragrant fls. in Oct. and Nov. (Baker says the genus has no fragrant fls.). Dutch growers say that T. grandiflora, has white fls. mottled with black. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}}<!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== Species include: * ''[[Tricyrtis affinis]]'' <small>[[Tomitaro Makino|Makino]]</small> * ''[[Tricyrtis amethystina]]'' <small>[[Genkei Masamune|Masam.]]</small> * ''[[Tricyrtis chinensis]]'' <small>[[Hiroshi Takahashi (botanist)|Hiroshi Takahashi]] </small> * ''[[Tricyrtis formosana]]'' * ''[[Tricyrtis hirta]]'' <small>([[Carl Peter Thunberg|Thunb.]]) [[William Jackson Hooker|Hook.]]</small> * ''[[Tricyrtis latifolia]]'' <small>[[Carl Maximowicz|Maxim.]]</small> * ''[[Tricyrtis macrantha]]'' * ''[[Tricyrtis macropoda]]'' <small>[[Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel|Miq.]]</small> * ''[[Tricyrtis stolonifera]] * ''[[Tricyrtis viridula]]'' <small>[[Hiroshi Takahashi (botanist)|Hiroshi Takahashi]]</small> * ''[[Tricyrtis yatabeana]]'' <small>[[Genkei Masamune|Masam.]]</small> ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Tricyrtis cv2.jpg File:Tricyrtis affinis2.jpg File:Tricyrtis cv1.jpg File:Tricyrtis formosana.jpg File:Tricyrtis macranthopsis2.jpg File:Tricyrtis macranthopsis1.jpg File:Tricyrtis hirta1.jpg File:Tricyrtis macrantha2.jpg File:Tricyrtis 'Sinonome'2.jpg File:Tricyrtis latifolia 01.jpg File:Tricyrtis latifolia.jpg File:Tricyrtis formosana 1.jpg File:Tricyrtis hirta.jpg File:Tricyrtis hirta f. albescens1613791163.jpg File:Japanische Krötenlilie (Tricyrtis hirta) 7283.JPG </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
