Description
Originating from Japan, Tricyrtis are also called toad lilies because of the numerous spots present on the petals. Floriferous in autumn, the flowers offer a wide range of colours, from pure white to dark purple. Hardy and easy to grow, they appreciate cool and humus-bearing soils.
Flowering is the same as the type, only the foliage differs. In this variety, it is delicately bordered by a more or less regular white line, highlighting the dark green lamina. Still too little used in our gardens, it will happily share the territory with hostas and ferns, offering its flowers during a season when most other woodland flowers have faded. If early frosts are likely to affect its flowering, it is a very hardy plant that will bring an exotic and unexpected touch to a shady rockery. Perfectly at home among the round and mossy stones of a Japanese garden, it also thrives in a pot on a shaded terrace, where its lanceolate foliage is decorative from spring to autumn.Attention, young shoots are often targeted by small gray slugs!

Planting and care
Plant your Albomarginata Trycirtis hirta in a fairly shaded position however, it can be planted in light sun north if watering is consistent and the soil remains constantly moist.
Plant it in a cool, humus-bearing, fairly rich, slightly acidic or neutral soil, sheltered from the wind that would bend the tall flower stalks, both in open ground and in pots. Flowering will be later if the summer is dry, returning with the September rains, which is not a problem in regions where autumn is mild and long. However, when frost comes early, a late flowering will be destroyed by the cold. In this case, the soil should not completely dry out in spring and summer, which means that the plant should be regularly watered during periods of summer drought. A mulch will help keep the plant's base cool.
Caution, young shoots are often targeted by small grey slugs. Spread ash, crushed eggshells, or if not available, granules suitable for organic farming (which are not harmful to animals that consume slugs).

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
