Care Instructions

Light

Toad lilies thrive in partial to full shade. They do well in areas that receive dappled light throughout the day or in spots with minimal direct sunlight, such as under tree canopies or in shaded garden beds.

Watering

These plants prefer moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, but be careful not to overwater, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.

Soil

Well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter is ideal for toad lilies. A loamy or slightly acidic soil will support healthy growth and flowering, helping the plants reach their full potential.

Temperature

Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, toad lilies can grow in a wide range of climates, from cooler northern regions to temperate southern areas. They are adaptable and can thrive in a variety of conditions as long as they have shade and consistently moist soil.

Plant Dimensions

• Height: Toad lilies typically grow to a height of 18–24 inches, making them an excellent choice for the middle of garden beds or as accent plants in shady areas.
• Spread: These plants will spread to about 12–18 inches, forming lush, dense clusters that create a full, vibrant display of flowers.
