I'm hoping the ones I've got will spread too ;D They like shade - I've got them at the front edge of my Hellebore bed. Be careful what you wish for! They can *very* quickly become weeds and you'll be pulling them out by the fist-full! Very pretty though. ;D |

I can't believe something so exquisite and exotic looking grows outside in the flower bed, and as C3D says can get rampant! It wouldn't stand a chance though in my garden, the slug'd have that no problem, and rampant? It wouldn't stand an earthly! It looks very slug friendly doesn't it, growing there so prettily and so perfectly! It's really lovely The witch.  |

I bought one on ebay, the slugs loved it to death, within a day or so of it showing its head above the soil, there was no sign of it ever being there.  |

Does anyone know how these plants got the common name of "Toad Lilies"? I wonder if it's the spots? They all seem to have them. |
