Tricyrtis hirta (toad lily）is a hardy perennial that is native to Japan, growing on shaded rocky cliffs and stream banks. The flowers are one inch wide with six whitish to pale purple tetals that have dark purple spots. Its Japanese name 'Hototogisu', that means a lesser cuckoo, is derived from spotted pattern of the bird.
In our garden, many of these flowers bloom every year in the bluebell garden. The season is from late October to November. Growth is vigorous and care should be taken as it tends to spread too far.
ホトトギスは日本原産の丈夫な多年草で、日陰の岩壁や川岸に生えます。花は幅1センチほどで、6枚の白から淡い紫色の花びらに濃い紫色の斑点があります。 和名の「ホトトギス」は鳥の斑紋に由来します。
私達の庭ではブルーベルの庭でたくさん毎年この花が咲きます. 10月後半から11月がシーズンです. 成長は旺盛で、広がりすぎる傾向があるので注意が必要です.
